New-Media Lexicon Decoded

On March 31, 2009, in Social Media, by Brett Duncan

HelpMeFred passed along a funny article from AdAge title The New Media Lexicon Decoded. Here are a few of my favorites: 

  • Follower – n. A person who pretends to be interested in what you are doing in hopes that you will pretend to be interested in what they are doing.
  • iPhone – n. A device you keep checking instead of paying attention to … Hello? Excuse me? I was talking here.
  • Nanoblog – n. A blog-like service (e.g., Twitter) that is so compact it has no room at all for a revenue model.
  • WAYD? – abbr.: What Are You Doing?; similar to WWJD?, onlyyou are Jesus, and everybody is following you because you’ve become convinced that your every tossed-off utterance is some sort of divine revelation.
