This sounds a bit silly but I don't think it actually is ...
What is a good definition of "social media"?
A definition that isn't inductive ("everything sort of like Facebook") but one that defines the category.
All the definitions I've come across sound quite odd-shaped. What's your definition?
It's kinda important because if we want to create a better "social media" we should be able to define quite well what that thing is we want to be better.
