its related to social sciences like sociology, psychology and linguistics.
sociology is the study of how people interact
psychology is how people think
linguistics is how people talk

The way social media (like facebook, blogs, and yahoo answers even) has changed the way we learn about each other and the world can be studied like any other science.

Yes, social media is both related to science and technology. Technology means the tools and platforms needed to complete your social media marketing campaign and science means studying the psychology of people using social media or even the behavior patterns of your target market. Social media is becoming a quintessential part of the way we live our lives today, especially when we want to make meaningful connections at a mouse click ( or speed of type ).
