Does that mean we get a day off?

#23I love this. Ironically, a great way to spread the word is via social media.
That’s the point. Advertise the hazards of smoking in the places where people smoke.

#24Is HN a form of social media?
i would say yes. so are blogs,forums,chats,etc. networking itself is social in a form. media is perhaps key.
media definition "(Communications & Information) the means of communication that reach large numbers of people, such as television, newspapers, and radio"
and internet i would say and i would say broadcasting not necessarily interacting. now social is the means of people interacting with other so anything with like comments would fall into social media but pure social would be like chat. social media would be very forum in function but can of course be more distinct like face book though it may fall more under a social paradigm.

Some have argued it is on the basis that it's online and people are writing stuff.
In the absence of any useful definitions I'd say it's not because few here seem attached to the name of people commenting.
Personally, you all have the same face, the same voice and are one and the same person.
Way too many people to feel anything social about it to me.

Kim Kardashian's business thrives on "media" and social media. Why would she be on it?
Cause maybe she is tired of the routine. Has made enough money and is watching the effect its having on kids. There are thousands of reasons, because there are so many different unintended effects social media has.
I didn’t think people could be that naive.

Yeah, maybe Zuckerberg is tired of the routine as well and both of them don't want more money and more power.
But probably not.

#28The only way this is going to move forward is through open standards. Something something webfinger, mail 2.0 and trusted recipients.

#30This is great. Celebs need to be on boarded more than Geeks. Getting an Obama or Kim Kardashian to show support would have major global impact. A cascade would start.

One way to do this is to tell feminists that men are superior to women as they are more disciplined and likely to go on a much needed social media strike for much longer because they don't quite have the same need for approval and attention from others. And then sit back and watch the fun. :-)
