No feed. No social network. Et c.
Reasonable people disagree over whether it's appropriate to label any piece of software in which two or more people interact "social media". I tend to think it renders the term uselessly broad.
- jacquesm 3y agoReasonable people know how to use a dictionary: "websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking"
- bamfly 3y agoRight. Because some people use it that way and dictionaries have (not inappropriately!) leaned strongly descriptivist for decades. They should have such a definition in them. Meanwhile, I'm not sure what about my post prompted you to jump to suggesting I'm an imbecile.
