Is that mashed potatoes? I am surprised I ever used this word, but hey, I am as susceptible as anyone. Now do a search for “Social Media” and I will probably blow Steve out of the water too.

You have to include Rubel. He is the benchmark. Should you run across a buzzword that he DOESN’T win, we deserve to know.

Why do I hate being 31st on the list, even when having a low rating is supposedly good?

I’ll be applying the same measurement system to PR/marketing podcasts, looking for “amazing”, “fantastic”, “in this space” and “this has to be a first”. I’ll also need to find a way to indicate effusive emphasis, versus deadpan delivery.

Thanks Scott,

Though I might point out your “Mashup” rating is going to go way up! Joke. I love the buzzword abuse index … keep it up (even when I do rank).

Scott,

What can I say? It is what it is.
