    Short answer for me is no but there are huge similarities.

    It is social media.  
    It`s a technological platform used by people to socialise in one form or another (some asking questions, some answering questions and some just here to rant).
    The definition of social media is:
    Websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking.

    Thanks for sharing your views with us Pam. It sounds really positive to hear you've not seen anything nasty or crudeness or bullying here and it is where you want to be!  :)

    I know on a technical level it is, but I don't see it as social media in the same way.
    When I think of social media I think FB, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat etc. I don't put Forums in the same catergory

    I’m completely the same as you @Biblioklept
    I see social media as a platform which I keep up with things and people personal to me.

    I put this up earlier, it`s not my definition, this is the definition of social media:
    Websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking.
    To that end, Scope is social media, along with Facebook, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Instagram and the all the other sites that I can`t think of right now.

    I’m not disagreeing with the definition I am simply saying my opinion as the question was ‘Would you describe this site as social media’. I personally like to think both as separate.

    You are one of the limited members I agree with the majority of the time to be honest.

    I didn`t read your earlier comment properly, but your comment above is clear, so I got that wrong :#

    Sounds good @kostadinmo Alas I think it may be to complicated for me as I have no idea on uploading or downloading or any but the very basic with a computer. My Son is trying to teach me but I am a slow learner - I hope to get there in the end.

    I am sure you will get there @easy. I believe in you. Would anything, in particular, make this feel more manageable for you? It sounds like your son is helping which is really positive to hear  :)
