A. It is a grass-roots movement, a running conversation between individuals of like interests; an interactive, multimedia forum of democratic voices, a community of empowered individuals. Social media is what media was supposed to be: it is the voice of the everyman/woman; an essential partner in any society that aspires to the values of democratic action, individual expression, and free speech. Social media is an ever-shifting collection of voices, special interests, groups of associated individuals; who may or may not admit to being a member of any community. Q. What is social media NOT?
A. It is not advertising, not broadcasting, not a platform for self-aggrandizement. Q. Who is the social media individual?
A. He/she is a pioneer of conversation and a resident of a global community, a willing, conscious participant of viral concepts and ideas; he/she values free speech over propaganda, and values the independent expression of his/her neighbor over official versions. -: -: - ADVANCE REVIEW
I really love this book...it is really valuable to have at the side of your desk for dipping into immediately. I use it as a serious reference and to better understand the increasingly complex and confusing world of social media marketing, which can at best become overwhelming and at worst a real nightmare. Aliyah has written not only a common sense description of easy-to-follow building blocks and integrated platforms but added her usual unique sparkle of wit, fun and creativity into the process. This makes this book a pleasure to read on topics which are often presented in such a tedious and off-putting nerdy way, but this book tells you how it is, straight and no messing about. This book will make you laugh and smile as well as reflect and ponder. Writers are advised endlessly to Twitter our Facebooks and StumbleUpon our LinkedIn. Now I think I have at last informally learned something practical and useful at a cost effective price and can now HootSuite the lot. Roy B.
