Never leave your house without it
Not a day goes by without some new social media or social software pops up.
Don´t fret. Get educated. Start here, it says in the foreword of the little Social Media Survival Guide that I was handed at the Podcasting and Newmedia EXPO last month. I visited the OneUpWeb booth in the expo hall. What a great gift.
I consider myself a social media savvy, but still there are quite a few words in the guide, I have not heard before, and it makes me think it is best not to leave the house or the real world without a guide like this. 
Now take for instance:
Adverblog - short for advertising blog - a blog used for advertising purposes
Blegging - Derived from “blog” and “beg” and means to send a query through the blogosphere in search of an answer
Clodpasting - A lame attempt to use online audio programming to launch a career into show business
Flog - A fake blog, frequently created by an agency to look as if it were created by consumers
Lilypod - A derogatory term describing a podcast that doesn’t provide the audience with meaningful information
Netroots - political activism organized through blogs and other online media
USM - Universal Subscription Mechanism. Allows certain podcatchers to automatically add a subscription from an RSS file
and more…
You can download the guide here.

“Flog” already has two meanings (to beat, and to sell) and now it has a third… nice!
