The Fight for the New Internet Buzzword is On

After Tim O’Reilly came up with the web 2.0 term — which as we know took a couple of years to get a definition ☞, Fred Wilson came up with freemium, now there are a couple of people trying to create a new buzzword. That’s way too funny!

  • Om Malik: NewNet
  • Anil Dash: Pushbutton Web
  • (unknown): Real-Time Web
  • (unknown): Social Web

Are there any others?

While not related to thiz buzzword rush, one of my favorites is: multiplayer augmented reality social gaming (RWW). I guess the only missing (buzz)words are “virtualized” and “real-time” and adding those would make it THE buzzword: virtualized real-time multiplayer augmented reality social gaming.
