Is it the platforms?

Our evidence shows that social media content such as teenagers' arguments or gossip migrate quite easily between platforms, such as from BBM through Facebook to Twitter, or from Orkut to Facebook. The same platform can be used for entirely different types of content. So, platforms are where content is published but they do little to explain what and why we post.
