New Words for New Communications

Today, the term blogtificate came to me: the process of unloading one's unqualified opinions, unsupported by fact, into a blog because no one else wants to hear them.

That got me thinking that there must be plenty of others:

• imaway - (adj.) When you set your Internet messaging software to away status so people will stop bothering you as you try to get something done.


• blackberryed - (adj.) The state of having a Blackberry filed with so many emails that you will never be able to respond to all of them.


• iphoney - (n.) A technology poseur who purchases some trendy device but hasn't yet learned how to turn it on.

So what others can you think of? There are comments on this blog for a reason.
