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 | |

| Mapping | Gathering together a list of influencing social media, such as niche blogs, mainstream blogs and forums, which relate to a specific topic, is known as mapping. When preparing an online campaign, mapping is a useful planning tool. So is an A-Z. Where are we? |
| Mash-up | Named after the act of mixing two hip-hop songs together, a mash-up is when the functions of two Web applications are mixed together to create something new and better. Yo yo yo whassup? It’s a mash-up ya know wha’ I’m saying? |
| Mass media | Mass media are the forms of communication which reach a lot of people very quickly. So, newspapers, magazines, books, video, radio, television and the Web would all be examples of mass media. On the other hand, girls screaming at a Take That concert is mass hysteria. |
| Meme | A meme (rhymes with dream) describes a unit of cultural information or idea which is shared and passed along either verbally or via something like a blog. So a question posted in one blog and answered in many would be a meme. As Joseph of Technicolor coat fame said ‘Any meme will do’. |
| Message boards | Websites where visitors are able to leave messages, start topics and have general discussions about stuff are known as message board or forums. Message boards are available for a wide range of topics from astronomy to heavy metal. As they say, there’s someone for everyone. |
