I’m now a couple of weeks into my job. Herewith some of the words I’ve heard people use in work-related conversation:
- RDF
- FOAF
- Microformats
- Podcasting
- RSS
- Ajax
- Blogs
- Wikis
- Social software
- Social networking
- Folksonomies
- Emergent taxonomies
- Ontologies
- Web standards
- Accessibility
An interesting set of words, I’m sure you’ll agree. More as they arrive π
As I don’t work with a group on such things, I have to make do with reading them.
I might try to bring them up with my family sometime and see what happens. I wonder if I could fit them all into one sentence?
do they have any more open positions? (for potential immigrants? (please say yes))
fin, I think their heads might explode. beware flying craniums.
leff – who knows what strings I could pull for the right merikan?
You mean noone’s mentioned vlogging, yet?Β Or blikis?
I’m shocked. Shocked!
– em
haha! π
Wish I worked somewhere where people used words that mean things. I have to listen to:
“It’s not rocket science” (when it is)
“vanilla layer” (in any context, really, any)
“transitional enabler” – wtf…
hmm, I smell consultant π
Go on, what is a “folksonomy”? Presumably some kind of redneck version of a taxonomy? Unless it’s from New Hampshire, where they don’t have tax…
It’s “a neologism for a practice of collaborative categorization using freely chosen keywords.” (ahem).
You know, tagging; like in del.ico.us, flickr and technorati.
I work in a gvmt environment and have heard most of those, aside from the ones below. I’ll have to look them up and see what they mean.
