2003 + 5 = 2008.

This 1995 paper mentions the phrase Social Media Spaces: http://www.ku24.com/~darrell/hybrid1.html
Forbes claim the first reference to Social Media as we understand it was in 1997: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffbercovici/2010/12/09/who-coined-social-media-web-pioneers-compete-for-credit/

Looks like your dates are a bit off again Tony.
