Most hated words on the internet
Posted by webstuffscan on June 25th, 2007
According to YouGov poll (in which 2000 web users voted) following are the most hated words on the internet.
1. Folksonomy - Online classification system
2. Blogosphere - Blogging community
3. Blog - Online journals
4. Netiquette - Internet etiquette
5. Blook - A book based on a blog
6. Webinar - An online seminar
7. Vlog - A video blog
8. Social networking - Digg, Reddit etc. are some examples
9. Cookie - A text file used track user behavior in browsers
10. Wiki - Wikipedia is an example. A site which is collaborative in nature.
I think if they run a poll on most hated sentences, the top ones could be “all your base belongs to us” or “in soviet russia” etc. Also I wonder why the words like “WTF”, “n00b” or “LOL” doesn’t appear among top 10! In fact, this is the first time I came across “Folksonomy”. It also shows that a lot people are getting pi**ed off at the influence blogs have on internet.
This poll is not credible with just 2000 votes. To make some sense, a poll like this should have atleast 200,000 participants!
- Last page and first page on Internet?
- Internet Explorer 8.0 on the way
- Windows media player 11 - A closer look
- Mozilla popular than Internet Explorer?
- IE 7 crosses 100 million installations
