The Online Media Cultist offers his own take on some of the words, and CybernetNews is making me hungry with their cookie clipart. The Guardian’s post is notable for the funny words that are coming out in the comments.

About Web 2.0 - I was considering eliminating it as a category from this very blog as it pretty much overlaps entirely with the Technology category. My site map is still too unwieldy. Never heard of "social graph" - I gotta invest some time in checking out facebook! heh… n00b is rather amusing although I prefer the “newbie” term.

About Web 2.0 — I was considering eliminating it as a category from this very blog as it pretty much overlaps entirely with the Technology category. My site map is still too unwieldy.

Never heard of “social graph” — I gotta invest some time in checking out facebook!

It packs so much meaning and has a fantastic combination of letters and numbers "interwebs" : Again, like "the internets" I love the casual, backwater feel of the term. Truly awesome meh : This one bugs me. Though I admittedly use it. I find it rude cuz it so effectively conveys malaise, boredom and a lack of interest so concisely into 3 letters. Meh. teh : I love this one. Simple transposition of two letters and "the" is reinvented as something mispelled and somehow hilarious. web 2.0 : I'm tired of this term. It tells you everything and nothing at the same time. The media/blogosphere harps on its overuse, but perpetuates that very overuse. Can we just put it to rest? Re: your list, I agree that netiquette is an annoying word. I'm not against polite web interaction, but the word is grating. One final term that's already getting old for me is Facebook's executives' who've been bandying about the term "social graph". I dunno why it bugs me, I'm not even sure what it completely means (wikipedia gives it a go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_graph) but I guess I don't want to see all my relationships and interactions reduced to some "graph". A few of my personal favorites (admittedly some of these go beyond being purely ‘weblogisms’ and are more ‘internetsisms’)
