Hi Leigh,

important than other social media platforms but also wary of tying
Wikimedia too closely to the term social media because it has a connotation
of being
As someone who coined a phrase "socially constructed media" back in 2004
when everyone was using "Web 2" I've been more than a little agitated by
the use of "social media" at the exclusion of the Wikimedia projects.
Either ask the stats, commentary and infographics are based on a poorly
