Glossary

Don’t know your podcasting from your vodcasting? Confused as to the meaning of search engine optimisation? And what exactly is a blog? Or blogging? Or the blogosphere?

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!)

Term	Definition
Peer-to-peer	The direct interaction and filesharing (especially music) between two people in a network, without going through a central point, is known as peer-to-peer. Tears for Fears on the other hand was a moody pop band from the 1980s.

Permalink	A permalink is a permanent link that will remain live even when the text is moved and archived. They are often used on blogs and news sites. In fact they are so permanent that they will still exist when the world as we know it comes to an end and only cockroaches are left.

Photoblog	A photoblog is a blog that consists of photos rather than text, and photoblogging is posting the photos on your photoblog. So when someone says have you seen the pictures of my holiday/ baby/wedding/cat you can reply ‘yes, I’ve seen them on your photoblog’. You can lie of course.

Ping	Short for Packet Internet Grouper a Ping is what alerts the original poster of a blog that someone has made a reference to that post in another blog when using TrackBack. A ping also notifies blog tracking software when the content of a blog has changed. Ping also refers to knicker elastic.

Pingback	See trackback
