I feel a lot cleverer today. I think.

It's come after a day-long editors' forum where the focus was the future of online journalism. So many words came my way and I THINK I now know what they all mean.

Twitter: getting the mother-in-law to blog

Flash: online picture contributions from the local pervert in park bushes

Wikis: and various other plural exclamations from switched-on teenagers

Pod: Kiddies' TV link here, the internet versions of my old favourite Bod character
