SOCIAL MEDIA “Social media broadly defined consists of any
online platform or channel for user generated content. By this definition, for example, WordPress, Sharepoint, and Lithium qualify as social media, as do YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.”

“This is where social media works so
well – because it removes the
barriers of geography and
time, enabling people to socialise
with the people they choose to, on
the topics they choose to, not just
the people and subjects that
circumstances dictate.”

SOCIAL MEDIA FOR SCIENTISTS
But social media platforms aren’t just
digital water coolers. They are the way
the world is networking and
communicating. They
are how and where we share information
– with friends, colleagues, acquaintances
and any and everyone else.
Christie Wilcox,Scientific America, Sep 27, 2011
