Some days ago I sent a message to this list to ask for help in preparing a course on the opportunities of new media for journalism students. I wanted to create a glossary with relevant terms. I've had some interesting suggestions (from a.o. Kevin Guidry, Jay Hauben, Bertil Hatt & Martin Garthwaite. Thanks!). They told me to add: SMS Flash mob/flash crowd - both linked to the mobile-idea Meme Reddit OhMyNews e-mail listserv instant messaging newsgroup ftp - The idea is that you first learn on the 'old' technologies to fully understand the importance and impact of the new ones.
From their suggestions I did not include domain squatting (not relevant - though Kevins argument that this term serves as a starting point for a broader discussion on the importance of domain names, is relevant.); Social network Software(I think this is covered by other terms); netizen (by creating a separate term for internet users, you are in fact marginalizing the people on the internet. In my opinion 'everyone' is using the net) & the triptic Journalist / Expert / Active Reader (they are covered in a separate lesson dealing with the produser-idea).
But maybe I should include them... Any more suggestions? This is the list so far: Citizen media editor Citizen journalism Weblog Rss Mash-up Podcast Youtube Social bookmarking Web2.0 Social media Online community Folksonomy Social networking Tagging User generated content Wiki Gatekeeper vs Gatewatcher CAR Twitter Vlogging Digg/reddit OhMyNews Second Life Mobile internet ubiquitous computing privacy participative democracy reputation intellectual property rights/ creative commons smart mob flickr photoshop geotagging ftp sms e-mail listserv instant messaging newsgroup flash mob/ flash crowd meme search engine optimization/ search engine marketing __________________________________________ niels.hendriks@mda.khlim.be docent & projectmedewerker Communication & multimediadesign http://c-md.khlim.be (mob) 0032 476 24 29 45 (skype) nielshendriks Favourites: http://del.icio.us/nielshendriks LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/nielshendriks __________________________________________
