Top 10 Most Hated Words on the Internet
After this, I have to write a blog about a webinar covering wikis

Aren't buzzwords fun? They tend to take on a life of their own, especially in the tech world, and somehow work their way into regular everyday language. How many people do you know that are familiar with the term "Blog" and are comfortable using it in a regular conversation? However, despite their widespread use, sometimes they can be quite annoying. I personally feel like punching someone when they seriously use the term "Blogosphere".
Turns out I'm not the only one who hates that word. UK polling company YouGov recently conducted a poll of Internet users asking them for their most hated web terms. At the top of the list is the word "Folksonomy" (a web classification system) and closely followed by:
- Blogosphere
- Blog
- Netiquitte
- Blook
- Webinar
- Vlog
- Social Networking
- Cookie
- Wiki
What are you're most-annoying web terms?

Kill it, burn it in a fire. After all, we can't be good netizens without proper netiquette, right?

No one around me thought that a 404 error next to a wireless advert was funny but me. Perhaps I should get out more.
