The terms ‘social media’ and ‘social software’ may have been useful for educational purposes a few years ago when development or business leaders were not versed in the changing nature of media or online tool sets, but no longer. Both terms have long ago been appropriated by marketers. The term ‘social media expert’ means that person is a marketer. Nothing more, nothing less. And nothing against marketers.

So first, I am simply renaming all ‘social media’ and ‘social software’ tags across the site to ‘internet’. I will do the same with the site category (that requires a proper 301 redirect) hopefully later tonight.
