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
PloggerA political blogger is known as a plogger. Ploggers can be political commentators who write blogs. Or worse - politicians who write blogs. Guaranteed to be utterly cringeworthy.
 
Plug-insPlug-ins are small software modules that add multimedia functions to an application. Web browsers use plug-ins such as Flash to expand the type of formats they can see such as video, music or animation. Plug-ins are also what guys get when they’re going bald.
 
Podcasting / podcastsPodcasting is the distribution of podcasts or MP3 audio files that are automatically downloaded via a web feed directly to your PC. The files can then transferred to an iPod or other MP3 player. Podcasting has nothing to with Invasion of the Bodysnatchers.
 
PodcatcherA bit like the child catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, a podcatcher is piece of software that gathers up podcasts and automatically downloads them to your PC. They can then be listened to on your MP3 player. Lollipops anybody?
 
PostA dated entry or article by a blogger on their blog is known as a post. A blog will probably have a number of posts. You can put a post on a blog in a matter of seconds. Unlike the normal post which comes through the letterbox and can take days to arrive. Even weeks.
