Speaking Social Medianeese
14 Jul
Today during a meeting i got so excited about something that i saw on twitter and in my excited and passionate voice i said,
I so almost ReTweeted that!
and i didnt think anything of it and moved on. After the meeting someone called me out and said that it was so funny that i just threw that term around like everyone should know what i meant….so the more i thought about it i realized that in the same way Christians have their own language that make it Christianeese and also make the “club” exclusive i think that the social media world has the same…and i wanted to bring those out in a funny matter.
So here are some Social Medianees Words…. (think about these as a 95 year old with no context)
Tweet
RT (ReTweet)
DM’d
@someonesname (while saying “at” to refer to a person)
Tweet Up
Hashtag ( that seriously sounds like a drug)
Followers (sounds self righteous)
Twitpic
Avatar
Those are some of the things that if you say to someone with no twitter context, they would stare at you like you are stupid…i would like to come up with some more for Twitter, Facebook, Blogging.
