For some, “tweeting” is something birds do and our colleagues’ conversations may sound like a script from Star Trek. But let’s face it, the speed of technological development means that even some of the most dedicated technophiles can struggle to keep up with the pace.So praise be for the charming guys and gals at Poynter Online, headed by Jennifer 8. Lee (pictured), for instigating the compilation of a comprehensive A to nearly Z of the lingo you need to know to convince your colleagues you know your Mashup from your IPad.
The glossary relates to Web standards, programming, online tools, social networking, online advertising and basic technology and even defines the most common terms such as “app” and “blog” for the seriously technologically challenged.
