Spanish term

conversaciones en 2ª generación

Spanish to English Marketing Internet, e-Commerce
This refers to the response to an online campaign:

"Más de 400,000 conversaciones y otro contenido online...La expectativa inicial era de 100,000 conversaciones en 2ª generación"

Could "conversaciones" mean posts or comments, and "en 2ª generación" replies perhaps? Any internet bloggers out there familiar with these terms?
Proposed translations (English)
3 2nd generation chatting

Nadja B Batdorf Nov 12, 2009:
Hi Dekken, i agree with you :-)
Diane Kenyon (asker) Nov 12, 2009:
Nadja's suggestion might be along the right lines. In an earlier slide it mentions that the participants have a direct "connection" with the brand representative. It seems that 2nd generation chat provides a button on the web page and an agent will respond when you click it (not being familiar with this concept before so I didn't connect the two). A solution could be "...conversations through a 2nd generation chat facility" perhaps?

Hi Phil, its a campaign in which the company has sent out samples of the product to a selection of consumers and invites them to participate actively on the site with their experiences and comments. There are no before and after sentences. This is a ppt slide showing the results of the campaign.

I think we need more context. What kind of online campaign? What kind of business are we talking about? And do the sentences before and after this provide any clues?

Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : it may be something about chat, but this translation doesn't fit the rest of the sentence - "100,000 second generation chatting".

Actually if they are talking about an informal way to say, it fits...but if the context is a formal one then we can substitute the word chatting to " conversation" or something more formal :-)
Something went wrong...
