Here is a list of vocab terms that every journalism student should know. I had no idea what some of them were, so I am also helping my clueless self by typing these definitions:
RSS: (really simple syndication) web feed that is constantly updated in one standardized format. It benefits blog readers, people who get their news online, as well as audio and video online because the media is updated instantly
SMS: (short message service) in other words, this is text messaging. People can now get news updates sent to their phone via text message
e-paper: also called "electronic paper." This is a display of technology that mimics paper. The paper reflects light and displays images indefinitely
Widgets: displays an information arrangement changeable by the viewer such as a window or text box. This allows viewers to directly interact with the website
vlogs: video blogging. what I am writing now but in video form
Twitter: free micro blogging service that allows users to update "tweets," 140 word phrases. Most newspapers have a twitter account to update readers in short, consistent statuses
HTML: the language used to layout web pages. I know, there is a language to write web pages? yes, it is very very complicated
