Here's the test: Can you fail? If you're "publishing" on a social media or blog site, you can't fail financially, so you're not a publisher, Kent Anderson writes on the Scholarly Kitchen: "When we tweet, blog, or update, we are not publishers. We are authors. Twitter, WordPress, or Facebook are the publishers. They just accept nearly everything we submit, so it feels like we’re publishers. But each company has sheltered us as authors from the risks of their ventures."
