What is the difference, if any, between social media and social networking? They both refer to keeping in touch with people over the Internet, but social media is less formal than social networking.

There is no difference—both terms refer to the same usage of the Internet to keep in touch with people.

Social networking refers to the act of using the Internet to keep in touch, and social media refers to the actual websites used to do so.
