There's this story going around about a supposed poll to determine the most annoying word produced by the Internet. I found it here (AFP -> Yahoo news): http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070621/tc_afp/britaininternetlanguage and here (Telegraph.co.uk, Sally Peck) (excerpt below, if you care about the results of this alleged poll) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/06/22/wiphone222.x... However, there's no mention of this poll on the YouGov.com web site, nor on lulu.com nor or lulublookerprize.com. Did this poll really happen? Regards, Dan Prives Where Most Needed The Charity Industry Blog http://www.wheremostneeded.org The YouGov poll, in which 2,000 web users voted for their least favourite word spawned by the internet, celebrates the second annual Blooker Prize, which honours the year's best "blook", or book based on a blog. The 10 most irksome words spawned by the internet: 1. Folksonomy: an ad hoc online classification system 2. Blogosphere: the collective term for the online blogging community 3. Blog: an online journal or web-log 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: the use of the web to form "virtual communities" 9.
