Back in October (see “there should be a word for this” part 1) I listed a few concepts (related to twitter and/or blogging) for which new words were needed. Since it’s such a rich field, I barely scratched the surface. Here is the second installment.
#9 The temptation to repeat a brilliant tweet of yours that [...]
When we started this team, three years ago, most people we talked to hadn’t heard of Facebook or Twitter and associated MySpace, assuming they’d heard of it, with something kids do.
Some people knew LinkedIn and that often helped get the wheels turning about social and how it could benefit work.
It was a lot like 1997 [...]
