Made up Web 2.0 Word of the Week: Advercasting
So Steve Rubel is pointing to a Wikipedia page for a new word Advercasting asking people to build it out.
Ok, can we just stop inventing made up buzzwords. Folksonomy was about the stupidest thing I ever heard, thank god nobody uses it anymore. Splogs is another lame one, unfortunately it's short and easy to say, so we are stuck with it, but advercasting ...
Maybe I'm just being a stick in the mud, here are my new buzz words, I'm off to spam wikipedia with them.
Reblog: Building blog content by regurgitating the content of other blogs with no original content, insight, or opinions.
Splinks: Spam links placed on/in blogs.
Stags: Using tags to spam the tag search engines.
Blag: Blog filled with computer generated text.
Alog: A list blogger.
Gaagle: Members of the cult of google.
Blord: Publisher who is a blog overlord for a stable of bloggers.
Blerf: Blogging serf who works for a blog over overlord.
I wonder...
Can advercasting serve as infotainment?
This is the same genius that
This is the same genius that would like us to call advertising on podcasts podvertising right?
Really, i've mellowed a bit on Steve recently, but he can still be a momumental fuckwit at times...
fun game
memecast - podcasting your meme; bore us at aurally as well why don'tcha?
Blame - a lame blog or what you should attach to the owner of said blog
Bling - blog linguistics and the online equivalent of chav jewellery
Blankfest - when wankers and their mates blog
sorry, I don't really hate bloggers - just it's such an easy target....
It sure is nutty out
It sure is nutty out there.
The problem is, some of these words become "proper".
I bet there was a Tavern where a bunch of crusty drinkers, their bits rotted by the plague, laughed at the new word this bloke Bill had invented. But everyone uses it now. Even when describing the latest Internet malarky. The word is "bubble" and before William Shakespeare invented it, no one used it.
Personally i think podcast and Blog are pretty stupid, but if everyone uses it then I have to too, it's just the way language evolves.
Hey, I'm still annoyed by "podcasting"
friggin' MP3 files available for download. Blegh.
