From Jim’s comment on a post a couple days back:
If you ever use the word “blogosphere” again I will come to Toronto and kill you.
I’m sorry. Should I have used “Blog Collective”?
Today in a meeting I said with a complete straight face: “I’ll move that project to the front burner.” And after a nanosecond, where I decided that was a dorky thing to say, I added: “…and will fire up the current paradigms with regards to staying inside the box on this endevour.”

Well thank you for that.
Remember GeoCities? Boy that was fun. When I first heard “Online Community” I remember cringing because of all the connotations that were going to follow.
I hate that word because it was created by a bunch of Radiohead-listening circle-jerking bloggers who think bloggers are much more than just dorks with clever domain names. If you’re going to start using words like “blogosphere” then you need to start putting your current playlist on your sidebar like the rest of those self-important idiots.
You’re better than that.
