- Pukamata - Facebook
- Paeāhua - Instagram
- Te Aka - Vine
- Pae Tīhau - Twitter
- tīhau - tweet
- tohumarau - hashtag

- rorohiko pōnaho - laptop
- paparorohiko - tablet
- pehu - cursor
- pūmanawa rorohiko - computer software
- ingoa rorohiko - computer username

Thanks to Jaye Riki - @jayeriki on Pae Tīhau - I know now the Māori word for selfie - ahau-i.
Here's a great - and appropriate - sentence (with the 2015 tohumarau - hashtag):
