SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY CLASS Social Media Strategy, or Mass Communication 333, is a class that helps students learn the basics of Social media and the way companies use them to target audiences. In this class we have learned a plethora of different approaches and vocabulary terms. According to the Social Media Examiner there are 3 different concepts that need to be examined when creating your plan they are: 1. Assessment 2. Implementation 3. Monitor, Measure, and get Momentum( 1) 1. http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/3-steps-to-an-effective-social-media-strategy/

These three steps are extremely important in this Social Media Strategy class. The class has been a blast so far and we are only half way through the course so there is still a lot to learn and explore. This class is teaching students a lot about the different medias that are out there and some that students have never heard of before.

This social media page is examining Wikipedia and the history of it, in a nutshell. Wikipedia was launched in 2001 by Jim Wales and Larry Sanger. It was the 2.0 to another website that they created in 2000 which was called Nupedia. Nupedia was made so so users could get expert approaches to the topic and not have to worry about it being false. After 6 months though only 2 articles were approved so Wales and Sanger decided to go a different approach and make a website with out users being edited. 1 year later Wikipedia was born and it spawned all different types of ideas.Wikipedia was made to be a user free encyclopedia for everyone. The company wanted to make a place where people could find the research they needed from someone else just like them. "Wikipedia contained more than 20,000 articles in 18 languages. Since then, the site has grown rapidly, swelling to 250,000 articles by 2004 and a million by 2006."

COMPETITION Over the years Wikipedia has made lots of competition and enemies companies such as: Veropedia, Citizendium, and Google's Knol. (but none of these sites seem to be able to reach the stardom that wiki has made, but there is always a new company willing to try.)

HOW TO USE WIKIPEDIA Everyone can make a Wikipedia profile it is very simple just put in click on create account and give a name, email, and a password and you are ready to start editing or adding your own work to a page, such as this one. Whatever is put on the website must be credible to some degree and people must be able to back up their edits with facts.
