Social media is changing the way individuals and businesses shape their identities, communicate and share information. Social media channels on the Internet, such as blogs, wikis, podcasts and online videos connect groups of people who share similar tastes, interests and agendas. As social media gains momentum, how will it impact the more traditional communication channels and what can we, as users, anticipate in the years ahead?
