what and why about Social media

Social Media is a strange brew of Technology + People + Organization + Freedom. Social Media is an online communication system in which a person can be an author/reader/commentator. It is a complex arrangement where the net users interact with large group of individuals who are exploring the breadth of an area or understanding what the terms generally mean. To do this, all the users use social software that enables anyone without knowledge of coding, to post, comment on, share or mash up content and to form communities around shared interests. The Wikipedia version of Social Media is slightly in abstract form saying that social media is an internet or mobile tool for sharing and discussing among the human beings.
