SOCIAL MEDIA IS…
• NOT about Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc. These are just tools that help communicate online.
• Traditional or broadcast media vs. social media

VERY IMPORTANT POINTS.
• Many make a mistake starting with selecting tools. Social media is not about Facebook or Twitter.
• Social media is about two-way communication with real people online. And communications practices have remained unchanged.
• I recommend you start with defining your goals, audiences and the message prior to choosing the new media tools you want to use.
