  • Gossip is idle talk or rumor, especially about the personal or private affairs of others. While gossip forms one of the oldest and most common means of spreading and sharing facts and views, it also has a reputation for the introduction of errors and other variations into the information thus transmitted. The term also carries implications that the news so transmitted (usually) has a personal or trivial nature. Compare conversation. Some people commonly understand gossip as meaning the spreading of dirt and misinformation, as through excited discussion of scandals. Some newspapers carry "gossip columns" which detail the social and personal lives of celebrities or of élite members of certain communities. Gossip has recently come to the attention of academia as a fruitful avenue of study, particularly in light of its relationship to both overt and implicit power structures. Researchers studying computer networks and distributed computing have recently begun to develop software based on what they term gossip protocols. These mimic social networks as a way to carry out distributed computing tasks that can be hard to solve in other ways. (en)

  • Klatsch ist eine Form der gesellschaftlichen Unterhaltung, bei der Informationen über nicht anwesende Personen ausgetauscht werden. Verwandte Formen sind Gerede, Geschwätz, Gerüchte, Palaver, Tratsch oder Stadtgespräch. Der englische Begriff Gossip wird teils auch im Deutschen benutzt, häufig im Zusammenhang mit internationalen Berühmtheiten, und eher mit einer freundlich-harmlosen Konnotation. Oft "lästert" man im direkten Bekanntenkreis, häufig trivial, oft übertrieben oder nicht wahrheitsgemäß. Die Themen sind eher persönlicher Natur. Klatsch löst häufig Gerüchte aus. Im Gegensatz zum Gerücht steht meist der Unterhaltungswert im Vordergrund. Typisches Merkmal sind Übertreibungen. Die Soziologie, insbesondere die Sozialpsychologie, beschäftigen sich wissenschaftlich mit dem Thema Ältere Klatschformen in dichten sozialen Netzwerken wurden als „Dorfklatsch“, „Küstenklatsch“ u.ä. bezeichnet. Klatsch über Prominente ist das Gebiet der Klatschpresse bzw. der Klatschspalten bestimmter Zeitungen. Klatsch gilt gesellschaftlich als verpönt. In vielen religiösen Gemeinschaften gibt es Regeln, die den Klatsch verbieten. Gleichwohl dient Klatsch als sozialer Kitt. (de)
  • Sladder refererer til nyheter og privat informasjon om navngitte enkeltpersoner og grupper av personer. Sladder har tradisjonelt blitt spredt gjennom nettverk fra person til person. I dag kan sladder like gjerne bli formidlet med større systematikk gjennom media som har utviklet sin forretning på å selge sladder. Slike formidlere finnes både innenfor ukebladspressen, aviser, radio og fjernsyn. Å sladre vil si å delta i slik informasjonsformidling. (no)
