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!) Any definitions you want to add? Email us at info@immediatefuture.co.uk | |

| Term | Definition |
| Plogger | A 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-ins | Plug-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 / podcasts | Podcasting 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. |
| Podcatcher | A 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? |
| Post | A 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. |
