What’s social media?
This is, technically
Isn’t this more of a messaging board? I don’t think messaging boards are social media.
Tbh I'm not sure. Someone just said once that Reddit is so I kinda thought that made sense at the time.
There is definitely more B's on something like Facebook, I'd agree.
That would fly well, as a defense in court. Social media are what they say are social media.
An online message board is a type of social media yes. The Wikipedia definition seems solid:
"Social media are new media technologies that facilitate the creation, sharing and aggregation of content (such as ideas, interests, and other forms of expression) amongst virtual communities and networks."
Thanks for sharing. I still question it though due to it wasn’t called that before till MySpace became so big and popular. Message boards been around since the 90s, some would say late 80s depending on your perspective. Or is a message board one community with multiple topics?
