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
CampaignA campaign is a set of co-ordinated marketing messages, which use different elements of the marketing mix, and are delivered at intervals. Usually with an overall objective like increased sales, a campaign will often be shown on a nice spreadsheet with lots of different colours.
 
CategoriesCategories are a way of organising the content of your blog so that your visitor can read all the posts on a particular topic in one place. It’s a bit like organising your sock drawers into different colours.
 
ChannelWhen subscribing to a podcast, it is the channel you subscribe to. A channel describes the show, so will have information about the author, the web address where the audio file/podcast is residing and the language spoken. It’s also the thing that separates the UK from the rest of Europe.
 
ChatA conversation with people in a chat room in real time is known as chat. It stands for Conversational Hypertext Access Technology. Really. Chat is also what you do when you pick up the ‘phone and actually talk to someone. It seems a bit old-fashioned doesn’t it?
 
Chat roomsA chat room is a virtual room where you can go and chat with other people, who have similar interests, in real time. From 80s rock to black and white horror films to knitting with dog hair: if you’re into it - we can guarantee that somebody else will be as well.
