The Outsidr

The race is a bit too close to call at this point but if I was a betting man, my money might just be on “Social Media” to take the title of Most Painfully and Annoyingly Overused Term on the Internet, 2008. Sure it has some stiff competition with the likes of “I can haz”, “kitten”, “lol”, “bff” and any word with a “z” vexatiously slapped on at the end, but I think social media is positioned to make a huge run at the gold in the final months of this turbulent year. Experts overuse it, self-proclaimed experts overuse it, PR people overuse it, marketing people overuse it, bloggers overuse it… A word of warning: The next time someone says “social media” to me, I can haz to smash your kittenz and lolz – or something like that.
