Interesting post critiquing social media jargon and hype from Scott Berkun:
While I like and use Facebook and Twitter, there’s enough hype and abuse of words like innovation, transformation and revolution around all things social media that a critique is warranted – if only to take a shot at calibrating how people talk about this stuff.
