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
Social mediaSocial media refers to the technology used that enables you to reach a worldwide audience. Like…instantly. And unlike old media, social media such as blogs, wikis and forums, give your reader the right to reply. Like…instantly. It’s all instant. Like coffee. 
 
Social media release (SMR)A social media release is a news release that uses social media features like blogs, podcasts and news feeds and will also include links to information and resources. This allows a journalist to cover the story with greater ease and gives them more time to enjoy in the pub.
 
Social networksOften easier to get into than the real life variety, online social networks refer to internet applications such as MySpace, Flickr and Facebook that help connect friends, students and complete strangers. Soon you won’t need to leave the house.
 
Social softwareAn application which allows you to share information, pool knowledge and collaborate with thousands of others online is known as social software. Isn’t it great that we all get along?
 
Social webPart of Web 2.0, social web is considered to be a new layer of the internet. It’s similar to the current web but will connect people, organisations and concepts rather than documents. Gives a whole new meaning to the expression ‘being sociable’.
