Blog - What you are looking at right now, a blog is basically an online diary which can be publicised and advertised to the owners own discretion. I would link you blogger...but you are already on it.
3G - Is the term used to describe the up and coming roaming internet, mainly used on mobile telephones for users to access the internet on the go around technological hotspots. Still relatively new 3G is carving out its place in the smart phone market but whether it will end up on the tube as they said it would is still looking kinda grey.
Blue tooth - Is a short range technology allowing the sending of data between devices using radio waves without wires (wow!) this technology was the spiritual successor to infared used in old school remote controls and also helped popularise console gaming by allowing us the first wireless controllers ....oh how I rejoiced that day. The information sent via blutooth tends to be quite secure as they operate by createing thier own data networks...or IPANS. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth
MMS (Multimedia Messaging System) - MMS messaging is the feature on most of the latest mobile phones that allows its users to send and recieve data such as, emails, pictures, data files, sound clips you name it. these are sent much like text messages except bigger!
Url - The Url (Uniform (or universal) resource locator thank you dictionary.com!) is an address of a website, this is what you type in your address bar when you want to get onto Facebook or any other such website. A code which designates which bit of information from the internet to load up for your viewing pleasure. For a more robust explanation please click here
Appropriate language conventions for messaging a friend - "LOL HEY, Just saw that KERRRAZY video of a man eating his own face and i gotta say it was EPIC, cant wait to see your lovely face. Lots of love. Robert"
Basically the use of abriviated words and general misuse of spelling and grammar is usually rife throughout any message sent to a friend online. I dont know why this is but it is a facinating phenomon.
Appropriate language convetions for messaging a business colleague - Would go a little more formal and keep the basic layout of a hand written letter, spelling and grammar become important again and the preservation of the language is restored. See below for my example.
Dear Sir/Madam,
After much consideration I must say that your pervious statement was in fact completly true. The aforementioned video "Man eats his own face: 2" was exactly what this company would be looking for to promote its new line of videos "how not to eat your own face" and we shall be contacting the creator about gaining the sufficent copyrights to air the video on our next digital short.
Thank you again for sending us the information and I look forward to hearing from you soon
Best wishes
Robert M Cowan.
