The news says, "Web 2.0 crowned one millionth English word". Before I go further, if you don't know what is Web 2.0, you could take a quick look at my previous article here (Click Here). Web 2.0 is the way how you using Internet today. For example, Facebook, Orkut, You tube, Blog, New Channels, etc., like you can post the message in orkut community and some one from the community replies you back instead of administrator or owner of the orkut web site. I assume, everyone knows what web 2.0 means... If not then it's not a bad idea though having a quick look at this video.... (Web 2.0 video)
Alright, moving to what I actually what to say is... criticism started coming for web 2.0 is being crowned for one millionth English word. Some are:
"I think it's pure fraud ... It's not bad science. It's nonsense," Geoffrey Nunberg, a linguistics professor at the University of California at Berkeley, told reporters"
This list included "Jai Ho!" an Indian exclamation signifying victory or accomplishment, and "slumdog," a derisive term for children living in the slums of India that became popular with the Oscar-winning movie "Slumdog Millionaire."
To me, the criticism makes sense. How come the version number 2.0 could be the word "web 2.0" in English? Nevertheless, it is easy to criticize and web 2.0 rules the today's Internet world, that's how we connected now through this blog :-) More over, web 2.0 is my career.
