This is has to be the biggest announcement coming from Google at the end of this year. Google is planning to take on Wikipedia with their own project titled “Knol” which apparently stands for Units of Knowledge.. While the title doesn’t really say much about the project, but they are definitely trying to create a more accountable version of Wikipedia, that will be monetized and will also also feature in Google Search Results, giving Wikipedia a run for its money.
Hot on the heels, Merriam Webster just crowned “w00t” as the online Word of the Year 2007.
”w00t,” a hybrid of letters and numbers used by gamers as an exclamation of happiness or triumph, topped all other terms in an online poll for the word that best sums up 2007.
Merriam-Webster’s president, John Morse, said ”w00t” was an ideal choice because it blends whimsy and new technology.
Although the double ‘o’ in the word is usually represented by double zeroes, the exclamation is also known to be an acronym for ‘We Owned the Other Team’— that, you guessed it right, again comes from the gaming community .” I can already hear gamers worldwide screaming “w00t! is the word of the year” into each others ears.
