Information is a Commodity
“In an emergency, you must treat information as a commodity as important as the
more traditional and tangible commodities like food, water, and shelter.” Jane Holl Lute, Deputy Secretary, Homeland Security (Lesperance, et. al, 2010:3)
Web 1.0
As the Internet matured and content evolved on the Worldwide Web, not only did the volume of information expand greatly, but so too did expectations of this content.
At one time, it was simply important to get information on the web. Keeping that information current then became a challenge. Today, users and content generators
expect to interact with one another directly, often in real-time. In this way, the Internet has evolved from a static path of sharing information to a
dynamic communication conduit for all to contribute.

Web 2.0
Social media differs from early Internet content in the following ways: Media-rich audio, video and animations are now common.
New Internet tools permit users to create synthetic experiences that do not exist in the real world.
These tools allow people to collaborate easily online, often at little or no cost.
Social Media Ecosystem
Blogs
Blogger, Wordpress, and similar platforms allow for a single author or a group of authors using one account to post content and links as a series of articles or posts
arranged in a chronological sequence like a diary or journal. Blogging sites allow users to access more content than micro blogging or peer-to-peer
sharing sites that also allow readers to respond by posting comments. It should be noted, that the comment feature of most blogging platforms permit users to exert
varying levels of control over what appears in response to their content. Individuals or organizations usually create blogs to chronicle their work, create a
portfolio, inform others, share ideas and solicit feedback.
Twitter Twitter is a micro blogging site. It provides users with a platform for short text
messages that may include web links, pictures, audio, and video content. The term micro is used as Twitter restricts users to posting short messages or “Tweets,”
as they are called, that consist of no more than 140 characters. Tweets are similar to text messaging (SMS or Short Message Service), except that they
are shared publicly to anyone with access to the Twitter service. Even so, Twitter users typically orient their activity toward the interests of a specific
audience or group of followers. Users can subscribe to other users’ Tweets, send direct messages, or reply publicly.
Users often share comments about related subjects through the use of hashtags. A common hashtag for social media in emergency management is #SMEM.
What is special about Tweets or Twitter posts is that when the account holder enables the location feature, the geodata it contains can help provide a more accurate common
operating picture. This is true particularly when the posts include a picture or video.
Peer to Peer Sharing - Common Social Networking Sites FACEBOOK, Google+, and LinkedIn are examples of social networking sites.
FACEBOOK, Google+, and LinkedIn are all social networking sites. Each of these sites allows individuals, companies, organizations, and associations to post text, video,
pictures, links to other web content, or combinations of all of these electronic media.

The posted media comprise a profile. This posted media, with some permanent and some constantly changing sections, comprises the
profile of an individual or organization. Increasingly more information about the individual can be shared, such as location-based information and media preferences (music, pictures, video, etc.).
Social networking sites are different than blogs. What differentiates these social networking sites from a blog or static web page is that they allow
users to directly connect with one another, through groups or networks or even by location, when this feature is enabled. They also allow users to comment directly or to obtain a direct feed of
content to their own page or mobile device for easy viewing and response. FACEBOOK and Google+ are more widely used by the public.
FACEBOOK and Google+ are used more widely by organizations and the public to keep others up to date on their status and activities or to advertise events.
LinkedIn is focused on professionals, associations, or groups with a common interest. LinkedIn is used more often by professionals, associations, or groups. It is a good platform to form
communities of practice, for continual learning, and sharing of better practices. However, all these
sites, and others like them, allow groups with a common interest to share media through a common platform.
Media Sharing Sites Sites such as Flickr, Picasa, YouTube, Vimeo, and Tumblr offer hosting for pictures and videos.
Users can include text commentary, group photos or video. Editing can be performed directly on the site, including embedding certain graphics, links, or metadata such as the GPS coordinates,
date and time an image was recorded in their content files. This media can then be embedded in a blog, FACEBOOK page, or linked in a Tweet.
Wikis Wikis are repositories for information or documents; the most well known is Wikipedia. Online
encyclopedias typically offer subject specific areas where information can be obtained. Another wiki example is challenge.gov. The Federal Government and the public put forward
challenges; anyone can compete by submitting ideas, solutions, or their opinions. In particular, FEMA has posted a challenge to the public to share ideas for community-based activities to help
everyone prepare for disasters.
The Emergency 2.0 Wiki based in Australia is another example. It's focused on creating a wiki to provide best practice advice on how to use social media and Web 2.0 in all phases of emergency
management.
