Now that the whole world is in the grips of th
e World Wide Web, it was only a matter of time before some wise guy came out with what works and what doesn’t in cyberspace. Epublisher Lulu.com – best known for its Blooker Prize (the online Bookers awards given for blogs and web books) commissioned a poll to You Gov, well known British pollsters, to find out what the most irritating words on the Internet are. Around 2,091 adults were polled for this exercise – and the results are quite a revelation! Did you know that the word ‘blog’ itself is the third most hated on the world wide web? ‘Netiquette’ (which basically translates into how you mind your manners on the web!) is the fourth most-hated word. The pride of place (position number one, that is!), however, goes to ‘Folksonomy’; that’s followed by ‘Blogosphere’ that hogs second place. The fifth most hated word is ‘Blook’ (or a book based on a blog). At sixth, seventh, and eighth place are ‘Webinar’, ‘Vlog’ (video blog), and ‘Social Networking’, respectively. ‘Cookie’ is the ninth most irritating word (the word itself means a file sent to a user’s computer after he/she visits a website). And at number 10, there is ‘Wiki’ (which means a website that is edited by its readers – remember Wikipedia?).
