4. Social Media is a
collection of based
tools and platforms
that enables the
sharing of informa-
tion. This new form
of media allows internet users to
seamlessly transfer text, photos, audio,
and video. The medium is useful for
both personal and business use.

5. FORMS:
 Magazines
 Internet
 Forums
 Web Blogs
 Social Blogs
 Wikis
 Photographs and Videos
 Radio
 Television
 Newspaper

6. MAGAZINES
Magazines, are publications that are printed
with ink on paper, generally published on a regular
schedule and contain a variety of content. They
are generally financed by advertising, by a
purchase price, by pre-paid
magazine subscriptions, or all three. At its root
the word magazine refers to a collection or
storage location. In the case of written
publication, it is a collection of written articles.

7. INTERNET
The Internet
is a global system
of interconnected
computer networks
that use the standard Internet protocol suite to
serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of
networks that consists of millions of private,
public, academic, business, and government
networks, of local to global scope, that are linked
by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical
networking technologies.

8. SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES
We define social network sites as web-based
services that allow individuals to construct a
public or semi-public profile within a bounded
system, articulate a list of other users with whom
they share a connection, and view and traverse
their list of connections and those made by others
within the system. The nature and nomenclature
of these connections may vary from site to site.

9. SOCIAL NETWORKING
SITES
Some popular social networking sites are
facebook, twitter, myspace

10. It is, however, Facebook that now leads the
global social networking pack. Founded, like many
social networking sites, by university students who
initially peddled their product to other university
students, Facebook launched in 2004 as a Harvard-
only exercise and remained a campus-oriented site
for two full years before finally opening to the
general public in 2006. Yet even by that time,
Facebook was seriously big business, with tens of
millions of dollars already invested, and Silicon
Valley bigwigs such as billionaire PayPal co-founder
Peter Thiel firmly behind it.

11. Twitter has been used for a variety of
purposes in many in dustries and scenarios. The
Hill on February 28, 2011 described Twitter and
other social media as a "strategic weapon ... which
have the apparent ability to re-align the social
order in real time, with little or no advanced
warning.“
(The Hill is a newspaper published in Washington, D.C. since
1994.)

12. More than tripling that number, according to
recent estimates, is MySpace, also launched in
2003. Though it no longer resides upon the social
networking throne in many English-speaking
countries – that honor now belongs
to Facebook just about everywhere – MySpace
remains the perennial favorite in the USA.

13. FEATURES:
 Simple Interface Is The Key (Simplicity)
 Prominent and Functional Search
 Organization
 Real-time updates
 Influencer advertising

14. Emerging Trends
SOCIAL NETWORKS AND SCIENCE
One other use that is being discussed is
the use of social networks in the science
communities. Julia Porter Liebeskind et al.
have published a study on how new
biotechnology firms are using social
networking sites to share exchanges in
scientific knowledge.

15. Emerging Trends
SOCIAL NETWORKS AND EDUCATION
Social networks are also being used by
teachers and students as a communication
tool. Because many students are already
using a wide range of social networking
sites, teachers have begun to familiarize
themselves with this trend in order to
leverage student interest in relation to
curriculum content.

16. Some other emerging trends are
the following:
 Professional uses within education
 Curriculum uses within education
 Learning uses within education
 Constraints of social networking
services in education
 Social networks and grassroots
organizing
