Read your article with interest. As someone knew to social media I too have been researching. My thoughts are that Social media is self perpetuating. We socialise via every medium be that the old fashioned "face to face", through to social networking sites such as facebook. The blogs, and their comments are just another method. The internet has enabled people to gain access to a global audience and thus establish a certain credibility through the number of social visits. http://juliebest20@word

I consider Wikipedia and Craigslist social media. We can argue over to what degree, but "social media" is media neutral. It can be photos, text, or video. What makes it "social media" is the process applied to the content: the user generation, modification, and dissemination.

I'm also the author of the post.

Seth, can the definition exclude any mention of its content? Do you want to consider Wikipedia and Craiglist to be social media? Are mixtapes social media?
