DeGroodt Digital Dash:Week 3 Social Media

Social Media  is technology we use on the Internet and on mobile devices to communicate with each other. There are six types of social media: collaborative projects like wikipedia, blogs like Blogger and microblogs like Twitter, content communities like Pinterest and Youtube, social networking sites like Google+ and Facebook, virtual gaming worlds like Minecraft, and virtual social worlds like Sims and Second Life. Social Media is basically anything on the web where you are encouraged to communicated and discuss with others. It is Web 2.0. Collaborative, user-centric, and forever changing.

Twitter is quickly becoming a source for breaking news with updates from people who are experiencing events as they happen.  Facebook keeps friends and family updated. What social media do you use? What do you love about it? What do you dislike?
