Social Media
online media where users submit comments, photos, & videos-often accompanied by a feedback process to identify “popular topics”
Social Network
a single social media site w/ millions of users interacting with each other
Ex: Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, LinkedIn
User-generated Content (UGC)
any form of online media content that is publicly available & created by consumers or end users
Ex: Videos, blogs, discussion forum posts, digital images, audio files, & related content
To Qualify as UGC, Content Must Satisfy Three Basic Criteria
- It’s published either on a publicly accessible website or on a social media site, so it is not simply an email
- It shows a significant degree of original or creative effort, so it’s more than simply posting a newspaper article on a personal blog without editing/comments
- It’s consumer-generated by an individual outside of a professional or commercial org
Classifying Social Media is Based On Two Factors
Media Richness
Self-disclosure
Media Richness
the degree of acoustic, visual, & personal contact b/w two communication partners
Ex: Face-to-face communications being higher in media richness than telephone/email communications
› The higher the media richness & quality of presentation, the greater the social influence that communication partners have on each other’s behavior
Self-disclosure
the degree to which an individual shares his/her thoughts, feelings, likes, & dislikes when engaged in a social interaction
› Greater self-disclosure is likely to increase one’s influence on those reached
