Social Media Doubters Beware

If you don't take the time now to become familiar with the likes of Twitter and Facebook soon, you risk extinction like the dinosaurs.

The dictionary gods (Oxford and Merriam-Webster) recently added these social media-inspired words to their vocabulary:

* friend v.To add to a list of personal associates on a website.

* microblog v. To post very short entries on a blog.

* social media n. Websites and applications used for social networking.

* tweet n. Posting made on the social networking site Twitter.

* unfriend v. To remove from a list of personal associates on a website.

I'm also happy to see that I can now use the words automagically, bromance, and cheeseball without fear of being ostracized by the writing world.
