Social media Web sites are places where people, businesses and organizations can connect with each other. Chris described some of the tenets of social media: The question was raised whether corporations can be authentic. Chris feels that they're a legal construct--a figment--and it's people who are or aren't authentic. I'm not sure I agree; a corporation can embody a mission or vision that people can rally around. Can't a mission or vision be authentic? Maybe it's just semantics. Chris also laid out the "Four C's of Social Media": A popular phrase I'm seeing thrown around lately is "the social graph." It's defined--at least in this seminar--as an invisible layer of connection with others. Social media Web sites like MySpace expose these connections, sites like a post on OpenID recently.
