I live in a small city. I think the reason that social media hasn't really become central for community here is because we have a small free arts & entertainment newspaper that has served the role for longer than I've been alive. That's where everyone expects to find public announcements, events, buying/selling things, etc.

Craigslist is also very popular here. Does that count as social media?

I was going to make a joke about "Not since they removed the personal ads", but CL has threaded discussion forums, so it's definitely social media.
