[Air-L] Definitions for Social Media Sites

Mon Sep 25 10:37:19 PDT 2017

Another piece that connects social media to user generated contents and 
distinguishes between different types of platforms is

Kaplan, A. M. and M. Haenlein. 2010. “Users of the world, unite! The 
challenges and opportunities of Social Media”. Business Horizion 53: 59-68.

hope this helps!
