It's just too many people concentrate on the “we gonna make money easily” part.

The tools have improved a lot, but basically it's still the same thing: people talking with each other, using BBS, e-mail, IRC, IM, Twitter, Plurk, Friendfeed, whatever.
The basic goal remained the same as did the participants (i.e. human beings), the only thing changed are the tools. But he is right, social media appeared when two animals started to work together, and not when someone invented Twitter.

And yes, these "you must do it" and "your blog's goal is" posts are driving me up the wall. He has a lot of valid points.
