COMMUNICATION
Communication is a process of transferring information from one entity to another.
"the imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing, or signs"
Communication is a process whereby information is enclosed in a package and is channeled and imparted by a sender to a receiver via some medium.

RELATIONSHIPS MATTER
SOCIAL MEDIA IS HAVING CONVERSATIONS ONLINE - Marta Kagan
JUST A SET OF COMMUNICATION TOOLS
SOCIAL MEDIA EXPLAINED
We define social network sites as web-based services that allow individuals to
(1) construct a public or semi-public profile within a bounded system,
(2) articulate a list of other users with whom they share a connection, and
(3) view and traverse their list of connections and those made by others within the system.
The nature and nomenclature of these connections may vary from site to site.

WHAT MAKES SOCIAL MEDIA SITES UNIQUE?
...is not that they allow individuals to meet strangers, but rather that they enable users to articulate and make visible their social networks.
