What is social media monitoring?

It sometimes also goes by the name of, or is bundled with, Social Listening, Online Analytics, Buzz Analysis, Social Media Measurement, Social media intelligence, Social Media Management, SMM (also the acronym for Social Media Marketing, confusingly) … we could go on.
