Social media refers to a type of website that allows users to create their own web pages or profiles, publish their own content, and network or communicate with others. These websites can be defined as second-generation or bottom-up websites, both of which mean that the majority of content is generated by users who can interact with one another, and not created by an outside authority. In contrast, first-generation or top-down websites publish information for users to consume without participating in the creation of this content. Popular examples of social media include Facebook, WordPress, Youtube, and Yahoo!. Any website in which the user is an active participant, whether that entails making blog posts, commenting on others' content, or integrating content from different social media profiles or websites can be defined as a social media website.
