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
Dead tree mediaMagazines, newspapers, books and other printed materials are often referred to as old media or dead tree media because they’re printed on…dead trees. Unlike new media such as blogs, wikis and podcasts which are shiny and sparkly and aren’t printed on anything.
 
Destination SiteWhen a visitor clicks on a link or a web advertisement on a website – a click-through – where they end up is the destination site. Our favourite destination site is the Caribbean in the middle of December.
 
DigeratiLike the Blogerati, the Digerati are an influential and knowledgeable group in the blogosphere. The Digerati are concerned with all things digital and have famous computer scientists and tech magazine writers in their group. They’re sort of like Blogerati’s geeky computer-hugging flatmate.
 
DiggDigg is a user generated content site where members submit (mostly techie) articles and news items they’ve found on the Web. The articles are then voted for and the most popular published on Digg’s front page. Can we Digg it? Yes we can!
 
DiggedTo get digged is to have someone submit your article or news item to Digg. If it’s popular it will end up on Digg’s front page and drive traffic to your site or blog. ‘Hey, I digg you’. ‘Thanks, cool man’.
