Difference between "cubing" and "speedcubing"?

Is there a difference between these two terms? When does "cubing" become "speedcubing"?

When you want to become faster.

@PatrikJameson: Are you saying breaking a world record is not speed cubing?

@PatrikJameson: Are you saying breaking a world record is not speed cubing?

No, he's saying it's not when you break a world record that you start speedcubing.

No, he's saying that you become a speedcuber way before you break a world record


edit - byu beat me to it

He is saying that you can become a speedcuber before you break world records. And you usually do.

I would say that there is a difference between cubing and speedcubing. Cubing could refer to solving the rubik's cube in many ways. Speedcubing would just be concentrating on speed. Doing FMC still means that you are cubing, but because you are not attempting to solve it as fast as you can, it could not be considered speedcubing.

I like that definition.

Whenever you're doing it for time, instead of just solving it.
