Here for the first time, in our fabulous Online PR and Social Media Glossary (phew), are our slightly tongue-in-cheek definitions for all the latest buzzwords doing the rounds. (And writing them kept the immediate future team amused for at least a whole afternoon!) Any definitions you want to add? Email us at info@immediatefuture.co.uk | |

| Dowdification | Named after the New York Times writer Maureen Dowd, dowdification refers to the alteration of the meaning of a quote by the omission of certain words or phrases. Came about after she misquoted George Bush in 2003. Did anyone notice? |
| e-books | e-books, ebooks or eBooks are electronic versions of traditional printed books which can be downloaded from the internet and read on your PC or hand held device. e-books take up less space and use less trees. And you never forget which page you’re on. |
| e-vouchers | Coupons that are delivered electronically and offer discounts or promotions are known as e-vouchers. They can either be redeemed online or printed off and used at retail outlets. Remember the Threshers/Wine rack discount vouchers? We love love love e-vouchers. |
| Early Adopter | A bit like Angelina Jolie or Madonna, early adopters are companies or people who sign-up to new technologies or marketing techniques, as soon as they become available, to get ahead of the pack. Early adopters make up 13.5% of the population. Fact. |
| Easter eggs | Sadly, not the chocolate variety, Easter eggs refer to secret messages or graphics that a designer or developer hides in a computer program for a bit of a joke. Who knew that computer geeks had a sense of humour? |

BlogosphereThe happy, smiley online community of blogs and bloggers is known as the blogosphere. It’s a place where you can exchange views, get advice and have a good time. It’s a bit like the Shire in Lord of the Rings. More jargon-busting in our online PR glossary |
