Social Media Dictionary

Social Media is moving at the speed of light.
Companies and brands are appearing and disappearing before we even have a chance
to make fun of them.
But that doesn't mean we can't try.

The Tactical Diversion Social Media Dictionary was created to document and develop
a much needed slanguage to define and describe this slithery beast.

This is your place to label, categorize, hype and slander all things social media.
