Biz Buzz Words of 2007

MSNBC compiled a list of business buzz words of 2007. I only know two of them. What about you?

1) grass station--a future fuel station that would dispense ethanol and other gas substitutes. Good idea!

2) connectile dysfunction--a phrase coined by Sprint as a take off on erectile dysfunction. It is the inability to get an Internet connection. I knew this one.

3) meatball sundae--an unfortunate result that comes from mixing two good business ideas.

4) friendquest--roaming around online looking for friends. Is that what I am doing?

5) subprime--who doesn't know this one?

6) narcissurfing--googling oneself on a daily basis. Could be a good idea for some.

7) disintermediate--firing middle managers.

8) Shanghai sneeze--stocks around the world falling after China's stock market plunged.

9) ringtone rage--rage set off by certain cell phone ringtones.

10) blogola--perks offered bloggers by corporations.

Who makes up these lists????
