Petjacking

Petjacking

When a person's social network site status or conversation is followed up with a comment made by a friend about the friends pet or pets, when it has nothing to do with the conversation. The pet owner wants to steal the conversation to talk about their favorite topic, their pets.
Typical petjacking:

Person "I went to an awesome concert last night"

Petjacker "I feel guilty going anywhere after work because my dog misses me so much when I'm gone"

Postjacking

When someone comments on a Facebook post such as a wallpost, status update, or anything else in an attempt to bring in another conversation and divert attention away from the post and toward themselves.
Jason posted on Marie's Wall:
"Hey...how have you been?"
Jack commented on Jason's wall post:
"JASON! Why didn't you text me back?"

And Jason and Jack have a conversation on the wall post that was meant to be for Marie, and thus Jack postjacked the conversation. Postjacking can also occur in status updates, but it most common on wall posts.
