What is not social media? Were the forums from before Friendster, MySpace, Facebook social media too? I don't know anyone here. Is a mall a house?
Social media is defined by users being the main source of content. Not by friendship or acquaintance. Fox News is not social media, because you can’t just upload content to Fox News.
