Group Progress Report 

Social Media - any online tool or application that goes beyond simply providing information, instead allowing collaboration, interaction, and sharing. Examples of social media include: blogs; microblogs; wikis; photo and video sharing; podcasts; virtual worlds; social networking; social news and bookmarking; web conferencing and webcasting.
We have two team members in our group.
Samuel is in charge in researching and Alicia will be stetting up and working on the presentation.
