Brindle Media

Language is a great tool for making people feel either special or stupid.

If you’re feeling intimidated by the words being used to describe various aspects of New Media, try to isolate the definition to something that has meaning for you.

“Populate” basically means to add your database or contact list.

To “mash” means to combine dissimilar elements to create something new and different.

I know that I still start feeling overwhelmed when reading social media blogs and being confronted with a list of terms I’ve never seen before. That’s OK. Just think of the process as learning a new language and find a way to reward yourself for your continuing education.
