Characteristics of Social Media

• Participatory: It blurs the line between producer and consumer, media and audience.

• Open and Democratic: It encourages comments, voting and sharing of information. For this reason it is seen as authentic and trustworthy.

• Conversational: Two (or more) way conversation rather than one-directional broadcast. Is personal, specific, and engaging.

• Communal: Supports formation, growth & strength of communities around a particular shared interest.

• Connected: Thrives on being connected, rather than being territorial and proprietary.
