Social Data vs Social Media
blog.gnip.com
on 05/03/2013
Excerpt: One area I see a lot of confusion about is the difference between social media vs. social data. I come from a social media background and use social media in marketing, so I see where the confusion can come from. The easiest way to think about it in plain English:
Social Media: User-generated content where one user communicates and expresses themselves and that content is delivered to other users. Examples of this are platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Tumblr and Disqus. Social media is delivered in a great user experience, and is focused on sharing and content discovery. Social media also offers both public and private experiences with the ability to share messages privately.... read the full post.

Featured Notebook: Best Android Tablet Apps

Excerpt: I’m a pharmacist by profession, a geek by passion. I’ve been mobile-obsessed since 2006, and currently share my short thoughts on Twitter as @khouryrt, and my longer ones on FoneArena, Android. Appstorm, and Windows. Appstorm. Having owned an Acer Iconia A100 for 6 months, and struggled to find a repository of high quality tablet-optimized Android apps, I decided to create one where I would only pick the best, “la crème de la crème”. And what better place to do it than Springpad? I already use it and evangelize it as my movie collection catalogue, so creating a Tablet Apps notebook was a click away. Springpad made it dead easy to link to the Market, choose the appropriate screenshots, and add a description.... read the full post.
