With nonprofits, we’ve defined as:
Using the Internet to instantly collaborate, share information, and have a conversation with people about ideas, causes, or programs we care about.

Any website that promotes social interaction. Also, one where REAL people are active with one another not spammers.

I use Stumble Upon and MyBlogLog to try to connect to like minded bloggers and find potential traffic to my blog.

To date, I have use them to find sites such as TechCrunch and Small Fish Big Money to help learn how to blog correctly.

Sometimes you have to weed through the spam to find what you’re looking for.

I think social media is simple – any communication (the media part: blogs, twitter, podcasts, video, etc) that allows people do with each other (the social part – chatting back and forth, not issuing one-way soliloquies). [Wow - thank heaven for spell check on that one!]

I must say I didn’t witness any “battles” in the midst of all the aloha of sharing and excitement of learning! Hehe, I’m just sayin’

@MikeTheBee – I understand the S.A.D. season – it is part of why I moved to Hawaii, and can confirm that for me the sunshine factor does make a difference.

I invite you to join us at Beach Walks with Rox, our mostly daily video. I would have thought envy would be a dominant experience, but most viewers from cold northern countries tell me they actually get a mental boost from the visual and virtual sunshine plus the sound of the waves. Your experience may vary; we’d love for you give us a try.

ooooh, Alistair, I like your definition. I like all of these definitions. But MikeTheBee is right. We have to really think about this because social media isn’t a shoe that fits every foot.

As for the Hawaii good life, that’s part of the week long celebration of Hawaii Geek Week (do we need an S.A.D. European Geek Week? :D ) that I’ve been privileged to be a part of, learning about social the Aloha way. We have so much to learn from Hawaii when it comes to social on the ground so we can take it to the virtual and my head is exploding with everything I learned this past busy week.

So what does Social Media mean to YOU?

This question is worthy of some thought, and while I think, I will say that you might be mentioning the ‘good Hawaiin’ life too much for those of us entering a S.A.D. winter in Europe.

My favourite definition comes from the presentation “What the f*** is social media?”. It says social media is “people talking to each other online”. It’s elegant, and able to scale as the individual technology inevitably changes.

In our consultancy iJump, we say it’s called social media because it’s social (like conversation) and it’s media (like broadcast), and then riff on the nuances of those two aspects.

We also break the tools down into things that help you Create, Connect, Share, Define and Collaborate. But of course there are always overlaps.

I like Cone’s definition in its 2008 “Business in Social Media” study – “technology facilitated dialogue among individuals or groups, such as blogs/microblogs, forums, wikis, content sharing, social networking, social bookmarking and social gaming.” Basically it’s about enabling conversation and dialogue :)

Any media that involves the participation of more than one person.
