Depends on the channel. ;) Scriptkiddie channel(s)? Yes, I'd agree. Penguin channel(s)? I couldn't agree.

Considering we always say that JavaScript is client-side, if it didn't have it's own name, all of that would be invalid. Why would programmers, invalidate themselves? :P

For me, it's not so much a word, as a prefix: my-

myspace
myCnn
myDocuments
... GAR!

I *hate* that. Of course their my freakin' documents, it's on MY computer.... you can't escape it!

I also could live with the word "solution" being toned way down. Not every script or tech support call needs to be referred to as a "solution".

The only thing I don't get is how a service can stay "beta" for years over. I just wonder if they'll ever get rid of the word "beta," or if they just think it sounds cool.

This one does not fit with the list AT ALL. All others are Internet buzzwords or jargon. But Social Network is a term that's been used by social scientists since the 50s, and obviously applies to more than the Internet.
