Twitter and 2.0 among top 10 words for 2009
What was the top word for 2009? Twitter.
That's according to the Global Language Monitor, which tracks language trends. "In a year dominated by world-shaking political events, a pandemic, the after-effects of a financial tsunami and the death of a revered pop icon, the word Twitter stands above all the other words,” says Paul JJ Payack, president of the Global Language Monitor.
But there were other interesting words in the top 10, too.
- 1TwitterEverything you know, do, and think, all in 140 characters.
- 2ObamaThe president, whose name is leading to new words and phrases, like ObamaCare.
- 3H1N1Swine flu. Now: Go wash your hands. Please.
- 4StimulusBillions and billions being spent.
- 5VampireYes, vampires are big, no doubt about that.
- 62.0There's Web 2.0, yes, but now everything is 2.0.
- 7DeficitThis word will be on the list for many years, perhaps.
- 8HadronThe group's definition: "Ephemeral particles subject to collision in the Large Hadron Collider."
- 9HealthcareNeeded. Now.
- 10TransparencyMore transparency equals better government.

Web 2.0 will soon be a buzzword of the past as it is replaced by semantic web and
web 3.0. Web 3.0 is about data personalization including concepts of intelligent search and on site behavioral targeting/advertising. High end search engine optimization firms such as C-4 Analytics are already incorporating traditional sources and social media (i.e Facebook and Twitter) applications into 3.0 web platforms for use in semantic marketing and SEO campaigns.
