Internet and Computer Glossary
When you use computers and the Internet in your business, it's
all too easy to start feeling like you're drowning in a sea of
nonsense. Computer-related things tend to have a language all
their own, and while you don't need to know all of it,...

Webish
The Web is currently reshaping the size of its units from big units (Web 1.0) into small units (Web 2.0) like:
News
Headlines
Links
Pictures
Blogs
SMS messages
Comments
Descriptions
Reviews
Announcement of events
Recipes
Interesting sites
Sport records
Recommended books
Places to visit,
Podcasting
Mp3
There are 12 million links in Google that answer the query "Web 2.0" and it shows how popular this new concept is.
The phenomenon of Web 2.0 is so energetic that a whole new language is developing in order to express it.
Almost every day I learn a new word:
First I learned the word "Web 2.0".
Then I learned about "microcontent" and "remix"
And today I learned the word 'mashup' which is a combination of data from multiple sources, often by using a vendor's API.
The pace of learning these
new words is so high that there are already many glossaries dedicated to this new language, and more than that -there are already suggestions to replace the "old words" with new ones, like Ian Hughes' suggestion to replace "Web 2" with "Fifth Wave":
"We have had mainframes, minicomputers, pcs, and client-server/Internet. Nominally these could be called waves 1 to 4. The fifth wave is all the enabling technologies that have become pervasive. Broadband, always on connectivity, open standards, easy to use tools, scripting, J2EE etc. When all these tools are put in the hands of people with ideas and allows them to implement those ideas we have the fifth wave".
My contribution to this new glossary is the word "Webish" which is the name I suggest for this new language (like English or Danish)
