The concept is the foundation of modern networking activities. People grow their relationships through sharing information, direct messaging, or commenting on posts. This eliminates most physical obstacles, or boundaries, as long distance communication is now painless and simple.

Started in 1997, SixDegrees.com was the very first SNS, which was soon pursued by Friendster, MySpace, Facebook, and other companies on all over the world. At this moment, SNS is not something new with most people, which is changing significantly everyday in size and scope.

What is another term for Social Media?

Social Media implies online platforms that enable users to post content, and interact by sharing, commenting, or sending messages. Based on its nature, we can recognize this concept as Social Networking Service (SNS), Social Communication, or Mass Communication Media.

Social Media only represents a part of SNS. Specifically, Social Networking Service indicates pretty much any platforms that help people to connect. The concept includes messaging platforms, posting video platforms, communication forums, etc. On the other hand, Social Media platforms provides an environment for users to share content to the public, and interact by commenting, or sharing. It is actually where users can gather online as a group, or as a community to share their common ideas, opinions, or topics.

A great example of Social Media is Facebook. You can create your own profile to represent yourself, your Fanpage to represent your organization, or your Group to host your own community. Subsequently, you can send direct messages to anyone, or any organizations on Facebook. In addition, you can post images, opinions, or videos; or interact on contents of other users. However, it would be different from Whatsapp, where you can only send messages. Indeed, Whatsapp is a SNS platform, but obviously it does not fall into the Social Media category.
