NetLingo: Mobisodes

It’s been a while since I posted a NetLingo definition up – but seeing as this one is mobile-specific, I thought it a pertinent one! I guess a lot of you might know the term, and it’s not one that perhaps trips off the tongue that simply:

mobisode

A media industry term to describe a broadcast television episode made especially for viewing on a mobile device. These video snippets are brought to you by a wireless provider and are available on a variety of topics.

Interesting combination of ‘mobile’ and ‘episode‘ there – again, not sure it’s the most elegant term – but as I did spend a good while working on delivering mobile content such as this (back in my Operator days) then I’m more than familiar with the term – and if you weren’t before, you are now (also)!
