For now, the new new part is that it is more social, it is about participating in the conversation digitally if you will, so this is where I have ended up on social media being the term personally. As Giovanni Rodrigueze says, the more accurate way of describing it is about ’socializing’ media.

I did this beercast with Mike Hudack from Blip.TV and many others at PME 2006, where Mike puts up a good argument against the use of social media as a term, which is relevant to this part of the discussion.
