What is it about Media???



In exploring the history of media, I have been struck by how often each era we enter has a tendency to call it something new – to call out the what’s different elements in order to distinguish it from what came before. Of course, as founder of Social Media Club, this is exactly what I have done as well – its not that I don’t think we should call it Social Media, its just that I want to understand what you think better.

Over the past few years, there are all kinds of ways we reference the “New” aspects of media. I am particularly wondering if you know of any sites where other people have discussed the differences and similarities and reasons for modifying our perspectives differently. Can you tell me the difference between:

1. New Media
2. Interactive Media
3. Social Media
4. Participatory Media
5. Conversational Media
6. Web Media

Any insights will be appreciated and will probably make it into the book…
