There are clearly different "platforms" through which content can be transmitted. Although "mediums" makes the distinction that Ron wants to clarify, and is clearly related to a term that is already familiar (media), I think "platforms" conveys another sense of the differences that exist. One problem with my term, however, is that it lacks the association with older "traditional" media forms.<br><br>Perhaps an even better phrase might be "communication platforms." That would cover the greater "breadth" of how the world is changing. Well written and cogently explained as always. There are clearly different “platforms” through which content can be transmitted.

Vastly different audiences, formats, strategies are necessary in each of the mediums you list: the blanket term suggests there is a one size fits all social media strategy like a unified theory of marketing. It doesn't work. I agree: using the blanket term “social media” causes more confusion than anything else.
