By most definitions not even classical forums like Bitcointalk count as social media so I don't see how Bitcoin should be. And while Bitcoin has a community, being able to communicate over the Bitcoin blockchain as a side-effect of monetary transactions does not really make a social network either. You may be able to derive certain social relationships by analyzing transaction flows, but Bitcoin as a protocol itself does not facilitate social networking.
