    Web 2.0, Next-Net, etc. I mean really, who comes up with this stuff other than marketing types? Who else is with me?

    Other terms to boycott:

    SERPS (half the people who use it don't know what it means)

    IBL (pretentious)

    I'm going to think outside the box and say I disagree because content is king. Even posting here shows you didn't think ahead and if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

    So tell me Sonic, are you working hard or hardly working?

    Honestly, I would if I could, yfs1.

    But right now I'm conferencing some new global initiatives and trying to keep an eye on a weather warning in effect for our area.

    I'm not really sure how this relates to me disliking these marketing terms.

    Always working hard! It's not easy having 2 full time jobs :(

    He is (and we are) agreeing with you, Sonic - we're just expanding on the list of irritating buzzwords and catch-phrases :)

    Terms to boycott..

    Hmm let me see.. Google, MSN, yahoo, SEO, SERP, Page Rank, FTP, MySql, Firefox, IE, adsense, HTML... to name but a few.

    Let's just boycott all this crap and stay in General chat and have a laugh! Who's with me!!!??

    No one..? Oh well..It was worth a shot!
