@Sushubh I like the responses on Twitter. Polls are too clinical, this is just curiosity and community ;)
"individuals sharing and communicating" - That would then be a "network for socializing" or let's try "community" @sgalineau
TwitterPoll: Do "social networks" such as Twitter, Facebook etc. solve social problems or create new ones?

@sgalineau Social means "of or relating to society or its organization" - it is social organization! #semantics #pedantMols
Bitching might ensue, just FYI. I'm opening all the mail from the two weeks I've been gone. Y'all know how that goes I'm sure. :)

Medical coverage: denied. Dental coverage: continued individual plan at reasonable cost. I might die, but damn I'm gonna have great teeth!

@jacobjohnson It was Andy Rooney's quote. I liked it. If I get another 48 years on this planet, it'll be a freakin' miracle ;)
Let's examine an explicit definition of social: "of or relating to society or its organization" - surely technology fits, no?

@sgalineau It's still social. Certainly sociological. Humans make those networks to solve human problems. Inherently human, certainly.
@drublic That was it, I'm pretty certain. Will try later. If disaster ensues. I'll know who to blame!

@drublic I got two answers matching yours which means you answered the question I asked, even if I asked it incorrectly! ;)

@kmullett It's like the term "Mobile Web" - I just want to scream when I hear stuff like that. But, it's not helpful. So I whine on Twitter!

If your "network" isn't "social" why is it a "network?" - even at the most technical, a network is inherently social. BBSs, USENET anyone?

I realize this cow is so far out of the barn it's been eaten already, but the term "social network" is overstating both overt and implicit.

@mrcoulson LOL! Justification should only work on the presentation layer. ;)
