Hi,
Andreas Kaplan and Michael Haenlein define social media as "a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, which allows the creation and exchange of user-generated content."[1] Businesses may also refer to social media as consumer-generated media (CGM). A common thread running through all definitions of social media is a blending of technology and social interaction for the co-creation of value.

Social media sites or Web 2.0 properties are now considered to be the current leaders in the internet. Just look at Facebook and Twitter. Remember this: Wherever people are congregating, that is where marketers are also heading. Facebook is a very good medium to market and promote because of large base of members.

According to my point of view social media is the best way to increase the page rank of website...You can get lot of traffic using social media...!

Social media are media for social interaction, using highly accessible and scalable communication techniques. The term refers to the use of web-based and mobile technologies to turn communication into interactive dialogue.

Some people use them for business purposes, to network and find new deals. Then there are others who use social networking sites for purely personal reasons and are totally oblivious to the fact that there is a business presence in the social networking environment at all.

In short it used for :

Purely Personal Reasons
Business – Connecting with customers
Business – Networking
Marketing
Entertainment
