Buzzword tip-off

By on March 17th, 2008 In Hype!, Social Media

Mashups, widgets, interstitials, social graph and memes getting you down? We’ve turned weblogs into blogs, and video blogs into vlogs. More are on the way.

Here are a few that could be vying for our attention:

  • Blews –a shorthand for ‘blogs as news.’ Coined by Microsoft, working on how to display the political bias of blogged news
  • Tumblelog –apparently a mixed media quick stream of consciousness
  • Podiobook –a serialized audiobook distributed via podcasts. The format’s been a round for a year or two now
  • Microtubing –a niche form of using YouTube

My money is riding on ‘podiobook’. Quite literally, it turns out.

And hey, check out how a Phoenix group blog is covering a meme that started in Phoenix. Yep, I’m in Chandler. :)
