I keep up with my fire department friends with Facebook.
I joined Linked-In because a colleague got me on it. I don't get on it very often, but an occasional discussion that interests me comes up.

As someone who has helped maintained a database of internet websites for over a decade now, I guarantee you that facebook and similar social media outlets maintain a searchable database on all their users. Setting stuff to private doesn't matter. Database's are created, maintained, sorted, and often sold or contracted out as a "feed" for monetary compensation under contract.. I'll wager Facebooks Database is arguably the most powerful commercial database on personal information in existence right now.

In my opinion if you are a regular user of any site that allows discussion in any shape or form well that is social media.Even if you use a pseudonym and do not use any of your real information it is still social media.

Youtube that is big time social media and I am very surprised that it is not on the list of options.What has been listed are only social networking sites.

@Ducimus that is a sure bet just look at the stock value of Facebook.The value is so high only because of its marketing value if Facebook had no marketing ability it would be worthless.I am almost ceratin that Mark Zukerburg knew exactly that this was the true value of Facebook all along.

The thread title is "Social Networking". That's why the list only contains social networking sites.

Yeah, I got ahead of myself there.I read this thread the other day and came back and forgot the exact title.

Though honestly I think you could argue that Youtube is used for networking to some extent.Though it does require less stringent membership and you need not input any personal data to open an account.Where as with a pure social networking site you do.

Anyway what I was trying to say is that nearly everyone does use some form of social media these days.Even Bob Dole.
