I don't use URL, I use URI - but I use 'address' when talking to non-technical people. I want to consign the phrase 'social graph' to the dustbin - it's stupid and pointless and doesn't describe anything useful that 'social network data' doesn't, but allows a lot of so-called 'social media experts' and so on to prattle on pointlessly.

The problem isn't microblogging. The problems are authors inability to cut to the essence of points / data. Microblogging only works when thoughts are clear, concise and coherent.

Doesn't it ultimately depend on your audience as to how you communicate? Why be wordy and say "online tools that let you have two-way conversations" when "social media" will suffice? If your audience understands social media, say (or type) it. If it's a broad audience, then why not educate them a bit and say social media, which are "online tools that let you have two-way conversations." I'm all for plain language, but the ultimate goal is to communicate clearly and, often, concisely. And, how you do that depends on your audience.
