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 | |

| Crawlers | Crawlers, robots or spiders work for search engines and crawl the web gathering information on new web pages, updating old pages and deleting dead pages. Spiders are like your Nan at a jumble sale: they like to have a good old poke around. |
| Creative Commons license | Creative Commons is a non-profit organisation who offers copyright licenses for work published online. These licenses restrict only some (or none) of the work so you can choose what parts can be reproduced elsewhere. If it’s a poem you’ll need a poetic licence. Not really. |
| Crisis Blog | A crisis blog is a blog created specifically to handle a business’s public relations crisis when something goes t**s up. It means you can respond quickly, squash rumours and give your side of the story. ‘Our CEO was not caught with a stripper from Penge. He was interviewing her for a job.’ |
| Crowdsourcing | A bit like outsourcing where you pay people £3 an hour to stuff envelopes, crowdsouricng is when a company involves a large number of enthusiastic volunteers to create content, do research and solve problems. Free of charge. Well they might send you a badge or something. |

SkypeSkype is a cool bit of software that lets you make free calls over the internet to anyone else who has Skype. You can also call landlines and mobile phones at a really cheap rate. And send messages, files, and other stuff. Oh, and the emoticons are really cute too. More jargon-busting in our online PR glossary |
