Social media is media that is augmented with the ability to socialize with other people. That's what we are doing here right now.

just to be pedantic, the singular of “media” is “medium”

"Social media is when u talk" has to be one of the worst internet revisionisms in recent times. The term describes big, massively centralized (micro)blogging platforms attached to your social circle and real identity. Forums are not social media, chatrooms are not social media, content aggregators are not social media.
