Cyber Glossary
Cyberlaw dictionary is an alphabetical reference guide to technical and legal terms related to the Internet. The site you are now browsing contains over 500 definitions of words drawn from Standard Internet English including technical terms and their meanings. Our aim is to explain basic technical jargon of cyberspace to those who are not familiar with its jargon. We've given preference to terms that are widely used, like modem or bandwidth, and to those that describe new concepts specific to the Internet experience such as phishing or sexting.
Viral marketing
refers to the promotion of products through word of mouth and email. Viral marketing, however, is not related to spamming, but to small groups of people sharing exciting information via email. For example, the popular movie The Blair Witch Project was a success due to the buzz created over the Website and the upcoming movie, months in advance of its release.
