- W00t named “word of the year” by Webster. Beats out Bluetooth, “surge” and Facebook used as verb.
- John Chambers for President?
- Helios doing YouTube videos. The phone is for kids apparently.
- 300 hotfixes in Vista SP1. No better compatibility though.
- Fortune Magazine headline is questionable.
- eBay says it will improve user experience.
- Video game usage enormous.
- LeWeb in Paris going on. Pointless.

I think it should have been “facebooked” because, in reality, nothing is more stalk-tastic than facebooking someone online.
“Woot” should have been word of the year in 1998. not 2007.
Perhaps a miscarriage of justice so-to-speak. I read somewhere the word of the year is chosen from a list of words most frequently typed into search engines. I suspect “woot” is not researched to determine whatever the current geeky meaning of the term may be but just to find the clearinghouse website “woot!”. It feels like nothing more than pure consumerism made woot the word of the year.
Hey John, have you been drinking?
The more I’m online, the more I don’t want to be online. What utter shite.
300 Hotfixes in Vista SP1. Only 300? I was hoping for real fixes. Dream on, I suppose.
w00t ‘w00t’!
I am so sick of that internet age slang.
Go to Tikibartv.com and watch Episode #9.
Is it woot, or w00t?
It’s SPANK THE MONKEY.
John,
Can you provide a link to the Fortune Mag’s take on the LeWeb conference? I can’t find anything about on Fortune’s website. Thanks!
Congratz to the word w00t 😀 w00t!
