Glossary Series Day 9: The Conversation

September 19, 5:22 PM

This post is part of the Glossary Series, a 100-day conversation designed to develop and clarify the language we use to describe online communication. As Year 2008 comes to a close, the emerging Glossary of Online Communication will be published along with a selection of the comments from my readership. I hope to see your comments among them.

Day 9: The Conversation

The Conversation: A term which relates generally to the entire exchange of information happening through online channels. Emails, text messages, blog posts, newzines, website columns, are all part of “the conversation.” Marketers look at how to get seen in “the conversation,” and online community builders try to bring lurkers “into the conversation.”

I’m glad we can’t actually hear all the words being flung around on the Internet. Then we’d have to call it "that noise!"

You can find great examples of conversations being supported by a number of creative applications. Try BlogCatalog’s directory, or go to Yahoo Groups and search for any topic under the sun. These are all conversations.
