I'm sure other people have noted this but at some point we went from talking about "social network sites" to talking about "social media sites".
At first, the network was the thing that mattered. Then, the media was the thing that mattered.
A quick Google Trends query shows the shift might have happened around 2012:

social network is way more empowering. saying it's media positions people as watchers. that is what it has become, but we should strive to make networks that enable us to work together.

related -- "social web" is totally overused.
there is a social web, we just haven't developed very much of it, i think because we were intimidated by the silos. i'm not intimidated any more, i'm fed up and going ahead without them.

@davew Yeah, the web became kind of Neil Postman-ized in the "Amusing Ourselves to Death" sense

@darius I think I like my social network more than I like social media.

@penryu for me, I have a particular turn on 101, just past Gaviota Beach, which is where Southern California ends and central California starts. The Bay Area/Central California border is at Gilroy. The Bay Area/Northern California border is just north of Ukiah. And from there it just keeps going until Oregon.

@evan I'm with you. But despite the "Northern" and "Southern" monikers, this rivalry seems to have very little to do with geography.
-
@penryu oh, I'm sure they are authentic. But from the other direction, they seem laughable. For a Southern Californian, it would be nuts for SoCal to start in San Jose. That's practically in San Francisco! And for a Northern Californian, by the time you get to Ventura, you're *almost* in Los Angeles. It's right there.
-
@penryu ha! Yes.

@vincent you're really keeping the .makeup TLD in business, friend

@evan Interesting. Shortly after moving to the South Bay, a coworker declared that no one east of Tracy deserved a vote. Would you say that yours is a counterpoint to his assertion?

@evan These are the most common _serious_ options OTHER native Californians have given me for this legendary divider.
(Foolish me thought Sacramento would be a natural divider, but alas, I was laughed out of the boutique shop.)
What would you consider more serious (if not canonical) locations?
