The Top 10 Made Up Words of Web 3.0

You won't find these in Wikipedia.  But someone had to write them down.  Inspired by Web jargon and making their first appearence on Twitter, I give you the Top 10 made up words of Web 3.0:

1. Socialstainable
The act of socially conscious and sustainable conversations, interactions and recycled linking.
"Is your blog socialstainable?  Mine is"  "How can our marketing be more socialsustainable?"

2. Viruseful.
Viral marketing initiatives that are actually useful.
"Not only did Shave Everywhere make me laugh—I was able to configure and purchase my new electric razor online"

3. Scrollax
Long form Ajax powered Web pages that scroll.
"Non scrolling Flash Web sites are DEAD. We need more dynamic Scrollax in this design"

4. Emotrics
The analytical measurement of emotions.
"Yes—we've seen the metrics.  But what about the Emotrics?  We need to measure emotional engagement!"

5. Blickroll
Converting your blogroll list to link to hit Rick Astley songs.  All 2 of them.
"So I'm checking out Micro Persuasion, and I click on Logic + Emotion only to get Blickrolled!"

6. Intercommunes
When people meet on the internet, form communities and eventually move into a commune together.  For real.
"When I first started participating in social media, I didn't leave the house.  Now, I never have to leave the Intercommune."

7. S'more Locater
Like a Store Locator, except it only locates S'mores. 2.0 bonus points if you use Google Maps and or iPhone.
"Just use our S'more locator to find some S'mores near you."

8. Twiggles
A spontaneous burst of laughter caused by interactions on Twitter. 
"Oh look who has a case of the Twiggles today"

9. Grokment
When you comment on someone's blog, fully grasping what the author is trying to say. 
"Thank you for that grokment.  You complete me".

10. Facehook
When you write catchy lines or clever comments in order to get more traffic on Facebook
"If I want more friends, I really need a Facehook—something to draw them in..." 

Enjoy and feel free to add your own in the comments.

Why, oh WHY didn't you use this as an April Fool's Joke...

[Paul McEnany]

Blogtubing - The act of blogging at water parks.

[SoftwareSweatshop]

Would 'monetize' and blog-fu count as runners up? How about 'Gettin Diggy With It' What about having a really 'Blig' readership?

Ok, I'm done.

Ok, I couldn't pass this one up... 'Bloggasm' It's a real blog, honest.

I hope I'm not pissing you off bro.

[Sachendra]

How about BLiF marketing. Blogging, LinkedIn, and Facebook marketing.

[DDeeps]

I can't choose which one is my favorite. They are all great.

11. Twistening / Not Twisenting - The act of having Twitter notifications turned On/Off on your mobile.

Shitake...misspelled the "Not" version of Twistening.

(Geez, didn't know you could misspell made up words. BUT YOU CAN! ;)

Great post! But I think you should only be able to use the word Grok if you actually read Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land. Otherwise, you should be slapped on the wrist with a pocket protector.

[bernard lunn]

I had no idea I was so unhip. I did not know any of these. Is there a secret handshake before I can meet people as cool as this? (Hint, irony).

[Fernando Cordeiro]

Hahaha, fantastic post dudde!
And good new words for be use...

The number that i like more is a 4 thing.
The Emotrics!
Sounds like a "matrix" or/with "emo" punkers...hahahahaha, joke...

But here in Brazil, i'm studing a Marketing MBA and i say exactly that all the time for my friends in the classroom, but them never trust me.
Dont just for the websurfers, but Emotrics shall apply in the analytics of "consummer" in global form...

Perfect! :)~
Hugs!

[Frank Patrick]

Curse you, Armano - the first time these start to appear out in the wild, know that it's your fault.

[Paul OFlaherty]

Great list. Am wondering how long before the Scobles of the world are using these terms :)

[George Potts]

If George Bush is using any of these, then we know we are in trouble.

[Paula Thornton]

You realize, of course, that you may be the single cause for the critical mass uptake of these terms. Then will you be able to live with yourself?

[B Marczak]

I think Cuban Council saw Emotrics coming way back in 2003 with their Moodstats app: http://www.moodstats.com/

Definitely forward thinking.

8. Twiggles

[Jason McElweenie]

I've been having a hard time referring to past entries in Twitter. Twittered? Tweet? Tweetered? Twitted?

I've found it frustrating but alas I have come up with the best way to describe past Twitter entries - TWAT(rhymes with SPAT)

I'll use it in a sentence.
"I twat about harvesting Scoble's tears the other day"

[Dan]

How about:

Smashup.

A virus or hack that uses the API from multiple locations to destroy a website or hack a computer.

[graeme wood]

Emotrics is genius - I'm expecting to hear this in a client meeting any day now!

[Eileen]

Quirky and fun... thanks for a good laugh!

[Kray-Z]

How about we stop reducing the english language to a pile of garbage and inducing the start of a real life Idiocracy! Seriously.

[Juan Aguilar]

Who's Rich Ashley?

[David Armano]

Jaun,

Good catch. Made the fix to Rick Astley. Thanks!

[MikeR]

EnGouging: Over-communicating marketing messages to an engaged group of members to the point they begin leaving.

[Brian Blank]

Didn't you hear? Web 3.0 is so, like YESTERDAY. I'm beyond that into Web 4.0 so this list is old news ;^)

[Jason]

Anyone who starts using these for real deserves a good, swift kick in the nuts.

[Metaport]

You realize that what's ironic or sarcastic in one locale will eventually be adopted as fact in another... these days, "eventually" can happen really quickly.

[David]

I couldn't agree more with Brian Blank.
Being a college student, I am online pretty much 24/7 and I have never heard any of these terms ever.
The fact that these words ever made it into one article together blows my mind.
*Sigh* What has the world come to...

[Vincent Nicolai]

hehe - super funny.

I added the post to www.tectrnd.com

set the trnd!

Does anyone remember a web comic that was talking about future web "versions"? All I remember is that one of them - 5.0 or 6.0 - was described as "robots collecting data from robots." That was hilarious. I too have never heard of any of these words, but I do like imelda's word: twat. Nice.

[Kevin L]

Sorry, not imelda's comment, Jason McElweenie's.

[David]

Just so you know, twat is slang for a woman's vagina.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=twat

Sorry, I guess the word is already taken ^_^

[Peter]

What about "Socialism" - for all those new social networks aggregators like 8hands or profilefly?

[Terry Bean]

netattract-
The ability to use one's network and universal understanding to manifest what they seek.

Shamelessly repurposing a few protologisms here. ;-p

blogamist: a person who maintains more than one blog at a time.

blogamy: the act of maintaining more than one blog at a time.

[Gordon Moat]

Blogtrolling: using outrageous titles on your Blogs to troll for attention; most effective when it is attention you don't want; generally evil.

Bloguerre: two or more people using Blogtrolling (or similar methods) to generate Blog views; basically a contest using unusual topics to attract readers, winner considered the person with the most views in a given time period, or the one with the most/fastest replies.

[Dobbot]

Really??
