What's the difference between transmedia and multimedia?

I still don't really get the difference. Or is it that multimedia is the same product in various forms of media, where transmedia is one thing fractured across multiple forms of media?

I imagine it's an abbreviation for "transsexual media", which I have to imagine means "any Tyler Perry movie ever".

Multimedia is a term that people use. Transmedia isn't.

There's your difference.

You're thinking of transgender. Transexual is the kind of person who gets his boy bits lopped off and hormone therapy to be a woman. A transgender person is a dude who just dresses like a woman.

Because that was the one thing keeping my joke from being a roaring success.

OH is that what your post was supposed to be? Sorry.

@oldirtybearon:

The joke was that media sort of sounds like Medea.

@video_game_king: I just consulted my panel of experts, and yes, that was actually the only thing keeping it from being a roaring success. In Europe at least.

@mafolu: NEVER.

Seriously, I would love to know if the lady in your profile pic knows that she is a miniature meme due to the Bombcast.
