10 New Social Media/Advertising Buzzwords.

David Armano, of Critical Mass, recently posted a list of made-up words that inspired me to post a list of my own. I do this all day in meetings, and figured I'd share a few with you, loyal readers.

Crapplications: Annoying facebook applications. Usage: "No, I don't want to take your Dr. Phil test. What a crapplication."

Groupsydaisy: Accepting an invitation to join a Facebook group, only to realize it was for something completely different, then leaving immediately. Usage: "I just joined the 'I love animals group' on Facebook. Turns out it was for people that really 'love' animals. In that way. That was a heck of a groupsydaisy."

Feedbrag: Purposefully doing something on Facebook that you know will be posted to your newsfeed, thus letting everyone know about it. Usage: "John rented Fellini's '8 1/2' from Blockbuster just to make people think he's smart. That was such a feedbrag."

Viraelian: One who believes that every online video they post to YouTube will be seen by millions. Usage: "Just because he made a video that looks low-budget but has special effects doesn't mean people are all-of-a-sudden going to find them and email them to everyone they know. He's such a viraelian, and he's converted his entire department."

Flackipedias: Articles on wikipedia created by or contributed to by PR firms.

Twitzer: Using Twitter to attract women. Usage: "Man, he's totally sending out tweets that are designed to make him seem rich and single. What a Twitzer."

Memicide: To kill a meme through overusage. Usage: "It's becoming pretty apparent to me that coverage by mainstream media has killed RickRolling. A clear case of memicide." Or, my blatant copying of David Armano's blog post, is an official act of memicide.

Statustician: One who updates their Facebook and/or Twitter statuses habitually.

Twends: When something starts becoming oft-tweeted about in a short period of time. Usage: "I keep getting tweets pointing me to Brian Morrissey's twitter feed. This is a definite twend."

Invinsible: The feeling of setting your instant messaging application to "invisible". Usage: "Ain't no one going to bug me on IM today. I'm in control of who I chat with. I'm invinsible."

Bonus Words!!!

SMainstorm: The process an agency goes through when instructed by a client to deliver ideas for a Facebook/MySpace/Blog campaign. Usage: "Smainstorm! Conference Room A! 10 minutes!"
