 everywhere. get_thingy_type().  Who's with me? ;-)

 +1. Hmm, so we will have "thingy", thingies", "thingomery"? :-)

 Seriously though, don't forget we are talking about an API that is seen
 only by developers and each function has phpdoc description. It's nice to
 have descriptive names but it's imperative to have a well thought and well
 written API.

 IMHO all of these would work well: "post" (current), "object" (a bit too
 generic), "content" (yes, content_type is also a HTTP header but that's
 completely different scope).

 From a non-developer's point of view "content" seems to make the most
 sense. It is the content of the web site. From developer's point of view,
 it doesn't really matter that much as long as it works well and is
 documented.
