"Social media penetrates our lives: Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and many other platforms define daily habits of communication and creative production. This book studies the rise of social media, providing both a historical and a critical analysis of the emergence of major platforms in the context of a rapidly changing ecosystem of connective media. Author Jose van Dijck offers an analytical prism that can be used to view techno-cultural as well as socio-economic aspects of this transformation as well as to examine shared ideological principle between major social media platforms. This fascinating study will appeal to all readers interested in social media."--Provided by the publisher.
