Hope you're having a blast in NYC. I was playing for attention with the title of my post. My point is really "social media" has been so overused that it no longer meaningful, especially as mainstream media embraces more and more ways to interact and amplify the viewpoints of its readers. Perhaps a more accurate label is "participatory media" as suggested by Jonathan Strauss in the comments of my post but I wonder if it's even useful to continue to break it out as a unique form of media anymore as platforms like twitter and facebook make everything social now.
