  It's a LOT different.
  
  Social media is about engaging with people so they share your stuff and get you free traffic that can never be taken away if you do it right.
  
  SEO is about being Google's bitch and kissing your visitors goodbye everytime they do an update.
  
  Not even close....

Social media optimization (SMO) involves making your content easily shareable over social networking sites. Since there are many options for where people can see your content, the aim for the web has shifted from, "driving as much traffic to a website " ensuring as many people view the content".

See this blog. I found this blog informative as well as simple to understand. it has everything you wanted to know about social media optimization. It may also help to implement for your website.

Hi sharepointcreative, this is a great question and I think by in large the other folks above have helped to answer the basics of SMO.

If you looking for an even more in depth review wikipedia has a really developed wiki:
Social media optimization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here are some tools that you can use when doing SMO:
SMM - Social Media Optimization That Won't Break The Bank - Bruce Clay

Finally, while this list I think is a tad older, here is a nice comprehensive list of social media platforms that you can utilize.

SEOmoz | Social Media Marketing Guide, Directory, & Resources

Hope these article are helpful!

I get it.

You start a thread with a simple concept, then sign into your other accounts to "answer" the question (drop a link)?

This seems like a LOT of effort for one signature link, but what do I know.

According to some people i have spoken to regarding this subject SEO is going down hill a little and SMO is over taking! But if you implement SMO into your SEO activities then you can't go wrong. You then have the best of both which will keep you ahead. SMO is defiantly becoming more bigger and widely used, so just be sure you include it.
