Trendy Social Media Acronyms and Abbreviations for Budding Digital Marketers
Social media is the ultimate go
to platform for the modern world. The amount of purpose it serves is vast and
still growing. We have careers, businesses and various kinds of
relationships being established on social media. Digital marketers who are the
emissaries of social media are and should be well versed of the coded language
this world speaks.
It
is not sufficient anymore to get good at it merely based on interest. Having a
proper understanding of the internet language is the ultimate key to the door
of digital media.
Let’s put it this way, suppose you admire a foreign country and decide to
travel there on a hunch. You reach there and start to look around. You will be
more than appeased about the visual appeal and enjoy your new environment. But
just in a matter of days you will realize something big- you don’t understand
their language! You will be miserable when you won’t be able to communicate
with the locals. Reason being- you didn’t prepare well to know the language!
The
social
media world is exactly the same. If you replace
the example of a foreign country with social
media in the above mentioned scenario, you will get the same outcome. You
will be lost without the knowledge of trendy internet terms which are essential
to keep up. For example, if someone writes FTW to you, they actually mean to
motivate you and not reversing WTF!
FTW is For The Win btw (by the way)
and WTF is well, not appropriate!
The
quick paced digital age adopts short cuts and cropped up communication methods.
We all are part of it now. It is either keep up or get left behind. For
marketers, not having any idea about social
media acronyms is equivalent to being oblivious to the popular trends.
Which is obviously not a smart trait to exhibit.
