Definition from Wikipedia:

Social media are primarily Internet-based tools for sharing and discussing information among human beings. Social media is information content created by people using highly accessible and scalable publishing technologies. It is intended to facilitate communications, influence interaction between peers and with public audiences.

DetectorPRO opinion of social media:
I don’t think Social Media has to be an object or a tool. I think Social Media transpires anytime a conversation happens: talking to a friend at a coffee shop, standing on a soap box in the park, or even just walking around the city talking to random people.

Social Media is about the interaction, but we try to manage it through the tools.

And, a bit simpler: Social media is any online space where people have public conversations.
