Wednesday Words: Archiving

Sorry for the late post today, I accidentally hit "save" instead of "schedule" when I was finished writing it last night.

Today's word, archiving, is frequently used on the internet, varying from archiving of forum posts to blog archives to newspaper archives, etc.  But you can also archive social media messages and associated metadata for purposes of regulatory compliance.

Many companies archive all of their social media messages due to the simple fact more and more business communications occur via social media.  By archiving messages, organizations can save social conversations in their own secure databases similar to how they store email or other important documents and conversations.

Archiving posts and conversations allow them to be looked at down the road and analyzed to track how effective the conversations and social media activities were.

Wednesday Words are a series of definitions released on Wednesday each week regarding a word found specific to Facebook's social media platform, or may be a generic word dealing with social media. These definitions are to help provide you with a better understanding of common and uncommon terms associated with Facebook and social media. You can find all the Wednesday Words by clicking on the Wednesday Words tag below.
