@Paul
A valid point. Media does require more then one person.

@Paul very interesting. I like "Modern Media"

I think you've hit the nail on the head by saying that unrelenting "newness" is one of the key characteristics of Social Media. My only issue is with the term "social media" itself, which seems like a redundancy: doesn't ALL media imply sociability, since there can't be anything MEDIAted without two or more people? Why not just call it "Modern Media"?

Oooh...
Well said!

I'm going to try to come back and re-read this tomorrow, when I've had more sleep (in theory) and can process an honest reaction...
But you'll never find me calling myself a "guru" - it's why I like the term "Social Media Advocate" - I'm all for it, I like talking about it, I like participating in the conversation, and I'm fairly certain that sums up the extent of my usefulness! :)

I'm going to agree Andrew. I think you hit the nail right on the head with this one.
