Social Media, Web 2.0, New MediaThey’re All the Same Thing

• What is it?

• Why do I care?

• What do I get out of it?

• Isn’t it scary?

• Maybe I don’t want to!

What Defines Social Media?

• User-generated content WITH collaborative interaction

• A blog without comments wouldn’t be social media

• A podcast without a blog wouldn’t be social media

• A wiki you don’t share isn’t social media

Why Do I Care? What Do I Get Out of It?

• Why do you come to the Mac Club?

• Social interaction

• To get help

• To not feel so alone in the Mac world

• Social Media gives you a small bit of the same thing!

Podcasting, Wikis and Blogs, Oh My!

• You’re probably familiar with blogs by now

• Key is the comments for the conversation

• You’ve heard about podcasting from me before, right?

• Wikis...

Wikis

• Use a wiki when you want to have someone help you write something

• Why send a document around with “track changes”

• At work I write EVERYTHING in a wiki instead of Word!

• Party Invite Example

• Demonstration of Podfeet PBwiki

Facebook-ish Sites

• Facebook/MySpace - Share photos, videos, links, and what you’re thinking about with your friend, connect with old friends

• Largest Growing Demographic is 35-50 yr olds

• MySpace - the Trailor Park of the Internet

• LinkedIn - professional, interesting to build network for future job search

• But I don’t want anyone looking at my stuff that I don’t know!

• Demo Facebook & LinkedIn

How is Flickr Social Media?

• Flickr isn’t just about posting your photos online

• It’s about building a community of people to critique your photos

• Too much pressure for me! But maybe you’re really into great photography and want to learn

• Most difficult to explain

• It’s a 140 character microblog

• Um, what?

• Twitter is what you make of it

• Who you follow, who follows you

• Instant news - plane crash in Hudson river, earthquake in China, journalist in riot in Middle East

• I use it as a research tool!
