As we discussed before I use different definitions, which I think fit better in how they shape our thinking around designing use cases in support of our social #communication online.
So, once more, I consider..
Social Networking is any direct or indirect human interaction between people.
That includes offline, where we social network for ages. And recently online since the rise of the #internet. We want #offline and #online to extend seamlessly into each other in support of our daily needs.
The crux is, we are still very primitive in learning how to do online social communication well enough. Lots to learn. We underestimate #social online.
#SocialMedia is a subset of #SocialNetworking against this definition. Moreover its an app-centric notion, same as #Microblogging is. And it shows: #fediverse duplicated existing centralized platforms' app functionality.
We want to focus on our modes of communication across different social contexts, and ability to express ourselves.
