So I turned to Google for an explanation and had to choose from a list of them, based on the context of our conversation.

What does F/B stand for?

• Feedback
• Food/Beverage
• for the benefit
• Feel Better
• Fighter/Bomber
• Forward/Backward
• Friends with Benefits

It can also mean someone is referring to Facebook. Here are some examples:

• Are you on F/B? – here it refers to Facebook
• Thanks for the f/b – here f/b means feedback

Some confusion this is – but we hope we cleared it out.

It is a mix of basketball, soccer, American football and netball and is played with a 175 mm flying disc. The objective of the game is to score points by receiving a teammate’s pass in the opponent’s end zone.

Twitter in Plain English:

It is the cost incurred in showing the advertisement to a thousand people. It is used for benchmarking and calculating relative cost of advertising in a medium. For example,

If the cost of advertisement is $10000 and it reaches 50,000 people then its CPM is calculated as:

CPM = $10000/(50000/1000) = $200

It is a simple measure of direct response to any advertisements but as it doesn’t necessarily signify conversion, it has taken a back seat when it comes to measuring the efficiency of a campaign.

In general a False Positive is a Type I error – the error of rejecting a null hypothesis when it is actually true. Plainly speaking, it occurs when we are observing an anomaly when actually there is none

A false positive is another way of saying ‘mistake’ and thus is also known as a ‘False Alarm’. In the field of anti-virus programming, a false positive occurs when the program mistakenly flags an innocent file as being infected. False positives can prove a nuisance in more ways than one:

• Productivity wasted due to user down-time
• Unnecessary security precautions
• Mindless security upgrades and backups to disinfect the seemingly ‘infected’ file
• Extra costs and time wastages due to above reasons

It also applies to anti-spam protection, where it refers to the misidentification of a legitimate e-mail message as spam. This too could be disastrous, since the undelivered e-mail may be an important business message.

Wiki is a Hawaiian term for ‘Quick’ or ‘Fast’. A Wiki is a page or a collection of pages which allows anyone, who accesses it, to contribute or modify it easily. It thus provides users with quick support to create and edit web pages and create hyperlinks and internal links in a web browser.

A Wiki uses a simple markup language to enable instant creation and collaboration. Wikis are used in creating collaborative projects, one of the most famous of them being Wikipedia – the collaborative encyclopedia. They are also used to create knowledge management systems and collaborative projects on the intranet.
