Understanding social media and Web 2.0
Social media refers to interactive websites that encourage people to share, recommend, and offer information online. It’s built on the idea that most of us make decisions by first considering the opinions of others we trust, including friends, colleagues, experts, family, and those who know firsthand about what we’re interested in.
Having a social networking site of your own is a magnet for people of all ages, but especially young adults and professionals. Investing in building a community-oriented website is smart for growth and an investment in retaining visitors who can quickly become your largest client base. Because people on social networks spend more time and are more likely to purchase online, a community site can drive sales or donations, attract new people to your organization and turbo-charge your bottom line.
Social design. You’re probably already familiar with the idea of using social networking sites, blogs, wikis and other collaboration tools. All are examples of Web 2.0 applications a phrase coined by O’Reilly Media in 2004 to refer to a “second generation” of internet sites that emphasize sharing and user-generated content. These days many of us make contributions to internet content without even thinking about it. We leave comments on articles we read, write reviews of products we’ve purchased, and distribute our homemade videos. The internet has become a much better place to share thanks in large part to this new breed of online applications.
You may have noticed that many blogs and social networking sites have similar design elements rounded corners, shiny 3D embossed buttons, pastel colors, large text captions and inline photos or eye-catching illustrations. It’s visually appealing and very easy to read, all part of something called social design, which aims to create the right environment for people to interact together online. Such cutesy cosmetics hide advanced and innovative features that allow web programmers to manage endless interaction and technological services like social bookmarking, reader recommendations and comments, video sharing and online chat. It seems the old adage “share and share alike” is once again in fashion.
