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
Biz BlogsBlogs that are written by companies and organisations are known as business blogs and are a great way to communicate with your customers, partners and employees. Business blogs are “good for business” according to Bill Gates. So it must be true.
 
BlikiA blog that can be edited by readers or an agreed group of collaborators is known as a bliki – a combination of a blog and a wiki. It is also a fall-down-drunk cocktail made with Vodka, Rum and grenadine. And don’t ask us how we know this.
 
BlogAlthough now being used by businesses, a weblog or blog is more often than not a frequently updated personal online journal kept by a blogger. Entries or posts are in reverse chronological order and can be insightful, witty and philosophical. Or maybe not.
 
Blog digestA blog digest reports on, and summarises, other related blogs on a daily basis. A blog digest can be really useful if you’re in a bit of a rush.
 
Blog stormA blog storm or blog swarm is when bloggers in the blogosphere write thousands of posts about a subject which then forces the story into the mainstream media. Never underestimate the power of the blogger.
