New Communication Theory and the New Roles for the New
World of Marketing
In the era of the "new" social Web,
communications is actually evolving back to its origins of communicating with
people, not at them. It may seem implied, but communications does not, for the
most part, embody two-way discussions.

- With the soaring popularity and adoption of
  Social Media, companies are realizing that in addition to marketing
  communications, listening and engagement is quickly becoming pervasive and
  necessary in order to compete for precious, yet thinned and distributed
  attention. The days of focusing solely on Web stickiness, eyeballs and
  clickthroughs are fading. These are the days of immersion, conversations,
  engagement, relationships, referrals, and action.

Social Media is, at its most basic sense, a
shift in how people discover, read, and share news and information and content.
It's a fusion of sociology and technology, tranforming monologue (one to many)
into dialog (many to many.)
1 - social media describes the
online
tools that people use to share content, profiles, opinions, insights,
experiences, perspectives and media itself, thus facilitating conversations and
interaction online between groups of people. These tools include blogs,
message boards, podcasts,
micro blogs, lifestreams, bookmarks, networks, communities, wikis,
and vlogs.

A few prominent examples of
social media applications are Wikipedia
(reference), MySpace
and Facebook (social networking), Twitter and Jaikue (presence apps), YouTube
(video sharing), Second Life (virtual reality), Upcoming (Events), Digg and
Reddit (news aggregation), Flickr
and Zooomr (photo sharing), Blogtv, Justin.tv, and Ustream (livecasting),
Stickham, YourTrumanShow (episodic online video), Izimi and Pownce (media
sharing), del.icio.us (bookmarking) and World of Warcraft (online
gaming).

2 - Social
Media is the democratization of content and the understanding of the
role people play in the process of not only reading and disseminating
information, but also how they share and create content for others to
participate. It is the shift from a broadcast mechanism to a many-to-many model,
rooted in a conversational format between authors and people.
