What do we mean by social media?
From Wikipedia:
“ At its most basic sense, social media is a shift in how people
discover, read and share news, information and content...
transforming people from content readers into publishers.”

Why does it matter?
Question: what has the most influence on your web browsing
habits?
People (friends, family, colleagues)??
Advertising (TV, radio, banners)??
