Ok, as a blogger I find this Yahoo story downright insulting. From ‘Most Hated Internet Words’ Revealed<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n
“Blog”, “netiquette”, “cookie” and “wiki” have been voted among the most irritating words spawned by the Internet, according to the results of a poll published Thursday.<\/p>\n
Topping the list of words most likely to make web users “wince, shudder or want to bang your head on the keyboard” was folksonomy, a term for a web classification system.<\/p>\n
“Blogosphere”, the collective name for blogs or online journals, was second; “blog” itself was third<\/strong>; “netiquette”, or Internet etiquette, came fourth and “blook”, a book based on a blog, was fifth.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
They have got to be kidding. Who did they poll for these results? I have to admit that I have never heard the terms “folksonomy” or “blook” and I may be able to support those nominations, but “blog” . . . please. I have suspect my mother may have been polled in this survey. Or the Red Bird. <\/p>\n
