As far as internet marketing goes, however, that's okay for business but what about Joe User? The description doesn't really fit. @spostareduro,

Totally agree that some may just want to protect the “social media” name as many have invested a lot in it. As far as internet marketing goes, however, that’s okay for business but what about Joe User? The description doesn’t really fit.

However, social media just fits in my mind. It's media that I'm using to socialize through first and foremost. I honestly don’t care what it’s called. However, social media just fits in my mind.

If you want the gods honest truth..it is still 'internet marketing' that has infiltrated social arenas. Definition of internet marketing "Leveraging the Internet as a means of communicating a company’s messaging, attracting prospects and customers, and conducting market research."

I can't yet figure out the term, but I think that social media isn't it. We've had social media before (think BBS, CB radio)- so it's not the first. I keep going back to Web - no media, just Web - that's all it is; just the net effect of all things Web today... Hey Colin,
