Hey, gang. This week's vocabulary builder focuses on the negative side of the digital world:
- Hashtag spam: Tweets that use a (usually popular) hashtag (#) that has nothing to do with the tweet and that is used just to gain attention
- E-snub: The act of permanently ignoring an e-mail sent
- Cyber disinhibition: A loss of one's inhibitions online
- Social media hangover: What businesses get when they spend so much time on social media for marketing purposes without knowing how it is (or isn't) increasing sales
- Robocall: A phone call dialed by a computer and consisting of a prerecorded message
- Unfriend: The act of removing a connection (a "friend") from one of one's social networks
- Sexting: The act of send sexually explicit SMS or MMS messages via a mobile phone
