Hello “Social Media”

The whole O’Reilly controversy over a conference using their trademark (which is already reasonably common currency) means that the trademark is now dead. I’m being cryptic, because I’m refusing to use the term, but this article should clue you in.

The term that Tim O’Reilly likes to regularly use is now toast. I’ve talked to friends about organising a local thing based on the same term. No chance now.

So, let’s use a new term. Current best suggestion is from Shel Israel (here) -  "Social Media" for internet sites based on collaborative thinking like Flickr, Digg and so forth.
