[edit] Participation Age

Participation Age (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Neologism, original research, more Web 2.0-related crap. Everyone's in the business of coining their own Web 2.0 buzzword these days, it seems. --- RockMFR 01:15, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy Delete Not a notable term, used as a subject title on one of references (does not make it valid term) and not even mentioned in numerous other sources. Comment I must add that i agree entirely with RockMFR, if i hear one more word being mixed with "blog" i might just give up my use of the internet. -- Jimmi Hugh 01:24, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy Delete - mere marketing. commercial buzz. mindspace spamming. This says "Sun Microsystem's "Participation Age" which is what Cisco ripped off for its Human Network campaign got into Wikipedia first, and also looks likely to be deleted. How much more "commercial conversation" does Wikipedia contain?" - WAS 4.250 07:57, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
