New media, is a perpetually evolving mechanism that advances the sharing of information online, with the current stage simply labeled as social media.<br><br>Now that "opportunistic" marketers have hijacked social media, the term is quickly losing its soul. Don\'t get me wrong, social media, however, still remains important - in principle as it relates to the democratization of news/information.<br><br>Now marketers have monetized social media through community marketing, comment marketing, and conversational marketing.<br><br>The key point here is that reference to, and the marketing of, social media has spun out of control. Those in the know, I find, refer to the socialization of information by referring to social tools, and the associated technology and applications, rather than fuse marketing and social media...</div>\

A newspaper can’t magically change its stories, even if society decides something in them is incorrect. My blog can be updated for all readers nearly instantly if someone demonstrates that I was wrong on a post.</i><br><br>However, that doesn\'t mean the correction gets the same amount of hits. Is the correction in a post by itself, merely corrected in the original post or mixed in somewhere else. Do the same number of people who posted the link to the error post separate links to the correction?<br><br>The net effect of just redacting the error and fixing it in the original post is probably a worse net effect than with traditional media.<br><br><i>You can interact with my blog. You can leave a comment. Call me an arsehole. Etc. Etc. With the above you can’t interact at all.</i><br><br>That\'s silly. With newspapers, you can\'t interact as quickly, but read the "letters to the editor page". Not as widespread as a blog, but then, how many blogs moderate comments, or have comments in a completely separate blog?<br><br>With TV and Radio, you\'re even farther off base, because THOSE allow you to  interact in *real time*, something you simply cannot do on a blog. If a radio/tv show allows callins, you can have input WHILE the story is being created, something that you can\'t do either here or on PodTech. If the show is running a live chat room, it\'s even more immediate. Blogs, in comparison, allow for no interaction until after the post is made, so in that sense, they\'re BEHIND Television and Radio.<br><br><i>With the “new media” you can look at my archives and see all posts. Try doing that with a newspaper. Yeah, you can, if you pay the San Jose Mercury News a fee. But it’s not as easy as it is here.</i><br><br>Okay, show me all the archives of your blog before Winer killed the site it was on.<br><br>dum-de-dum...Hm? Right, you can\'t. Meanwhile I can get access to the NYT for what, the last hundred years? "Hard" is a relative term. In your case, since you didn\'t properly back up your stuff, that part of your blog is gone forever. It seems to me that "impossible" would apply, and you\'re not the only person to get hit with that. It\'s harder to GET to data on paper and tape, but it\'s also harder to as thoroughly destroy it than it is on a web site.<br><br><i>Here on my blog I don’t need to convince a committee to publish. Not true with other media forms. Imagine you walked into CNN and said “hey, I have some cool video, can you publish it?”</i><br><br>Your record WRT to accuracy and fact checking shows you aren\'t much better than CNN either, and probably a bit worse. Who vets your stories for accuracy other than you? Who even ATTEMPTS to make sure you have all the facts first other than you?<br><br>Based on this blog, the answer of course is no one. In fact, if no one calls you on it, you don\'t even retroactively check your facts. You\'ll happily leave bad info there unless you get busted.<br><br>"Cop didn\'t see it, I didn\'t do it" is NOT a commitment to accuracy.<br><br><i>The new media is infinite. The media above all has limitations in terms of either length (a TV station only has 24 hours in a day — over on YouTube, I guarantee they publish a lot more than 24 hours of video in a day) or in quantity (try to convince USA Today to publish a 40,000 word article, or, 500 articles on the same topic).</i><br><br>By the same token, neither TV nor Radio can get killed by their own success. They don\'t ever have to worry about bandwidth costs exceeding income. In fact, everyone tuning in means MORE success. I\'ve seen a lot of sites die because their bandwidth bills were more than they could pay.<br><br>New media is more flexible in certain ways, but it sucks rocks in just as many others. Not a magic spell Robert. Really.</div>\

Personally, I don\'t think the functional definition on Wikipedia is so abhorrent; I think the challenge comes more in understanding the broader implications of the meaning. Technically speaking, we could call it all "media" and it would be accurate, but not meaningful. The trend toward attaching "social" to media is important because it signifies an important shift in how public content is controlled, shaped and consumed, and that in turn shapes what we collectively experience as shared knowledge.<br><br>I think it\'s a little too early to make pronouncements about how important the term "Social Media" is, or whether or not it\'s lost its soul. It may seem like overripe fruit within the echo chamber of networked pundits, but to the vast majority of business people, marketers, and consumers at large, it\'s still an emerging concept.</div>\

As a weasel is alleged to be able to empty an egg without leaving a visible sign, so can these words deprive of content any term to which they are prefixed while seemingly leaving them untouched.

They surely have reason to be concerned, even though they are not being completely practical - nor are many focusing their anger at the right people. As Brian Solis pointed out to me this morning "most of the people that need to hear these things, are not even participants in this conversation, and therein lies the problem." Worse, those other people will see many of the angriest voices as indicative of a more serious problem with how things are today and won\'t ever respond in a way that will let them really understand why it is important.<br><br>This is why we need to come together...

I suspect we might have to reintroduce media (as a variety of ways in which information can be captured and distributed) and disaggregate it somehow into (at least) mass media (in which the channel concentrates on a one-to-many model) and social media (in which there\'s a more many-to-many relationship).</div>\

First, given that we are each subjected to (if you believe it...) something like 3,000 messages per day, then a commnications medium that potentially *that* (by replacing interruptive push with permission-based pull) is very definitely and properly associated with marketing. Second, when I share a photo album, it\'s to show (you) what I did. When I share a product experience, it\'s to show you what happened (good or bad). These are the same thing: content that I want to share on the belief that (you) may enjoy it or benefit from it.<br><br>So, yah, marketing is a component of SM. It may be "personal marketing" (as in "Look how cool my last birthday party was...don\'t you wish you\'d been  here?) or it may be directed at encouraging or dissuading a potential purchase. Either way, the key elements--being able to alter of adapt it, subjecting it to the collective, the act of publishing user-generated content that is displacing centrally-produced, un-changeable content--are applicable to both personal and business (aka "marketing" ) uses of SM.<br><br>I\'m hopeful for a world without interruption, where the information I need to make an informed choice--business, commerce, political, personal--is immediately available.

Does that mean that traditional media i.e. pre-Internet media are unsocial? I think that every communications medium is social in so far it achieves its essential role, that is, to successfully mediate communication between two people. Then it is by definition social. Unsocial media are broken media.<br>The most oft quoted distinction between social and traditional media has been the direction of communication. Social media are two-way while traditional media are one-way. But communication does not have to be two-way to be communication. That is why we speak of one-way communication; because it involves the successful communication of one person’s message to another. But then pre-Internet media are also social. Then why is everybody talking about ‘Social Media’? What is new about them?<br><br>Though i read Scoble\'s post after writing my own on the subject, and think he pretty much captures it, visit my post at <a href="http://agoraplace.wordpress.com/2008/01/15/the-social-role-of-the-internet-part-i-the-origins-of-web-20-and-social-media/" rel="nofollow">http://agoraplace.wordpress.com/2008/01/15/the-...</a> for another take on the subject.</div>\
