2. Definition Social Media is the democratization of information, transforming people from content readers into publishers. It is the shift from a broadcast mechanism, one-to-many, to a many-to- many model, rooted in conversations between authors, people, and peers (Solis, B., 2010) "Web 2.0" in just under 5 minutes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLlGopyXT_g

10. FYI Better Googling The trick is to add site:*.sc.gov to the query where site: specifies which Web site (or sites) you want to search. In this case, I also used the wild card * before sc.gov so that any site run by the state government will be included. voicethread- presentation ProfHacker – Chronicle of higher ed Wired campus
