Lorelle, I think you make a great point. I believe that word of mouth (WOM) using online tools is basically the same as social media. It seems that social media is really trendy and overused now days. It seems to have a mushy, changeable shape that means different things to different people. For this reason, people focus on the tools. Things like Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube are tangible and easy to understand. It is a site. This is the URL. Go to it and see. However, I don’t think that people on Facebook makes it social media. Facebook is a tool that makes it easier for media to become social. However, I don’t think it is social just because it is on Facebook.

I look forward to your other posts.

Craig, that used to be called word of mouth (wom) and is practiced today in so many ways. Thanks for sharing your analysis.

Lorelle, social media is a form of media that is passed on from one person to another in a growing web of connections. If the media is sent out from one source, it is closer to publishing. For example, a company that has a bunch of YouTube videos on their site might be engaged in video publishing rather than social media. The social activity is a viral activity. I did a writeup of how Google uses social media techniques in their product launches. The bottom line is that 60 days after the beta launch of their product, there are 450,000 independent blog postings about it.

Thanks for the kind comments. I’m eager to find out other bloggers’ experiences and expertise on the subject of social media. There is a lot of confusion around the concept and I’m anxious to help dispel the confusion and learn how others are using online tools to help them connect with the rest of the world and their readers. Aren’t you? :D
