After looking at the prior top words and phrases, I think it's just someone making up a list.
It's based on a "proprietary algorithm." So we have puzzling results like:
2009 Name: Mobama
2006 Name: Dafur
2005 Top Phrase: Outside the Mainstream
2002 2nd ranked phrase: Rush to War
2002 top phrase: Threat Fatigue
Sorry, maybe among blogs and Twitter feeds these would rate, but top in media or general usage? No way.
Hey Professor Mark, thanks for linking that Forbes piece...
Very interesting...
Omaha is the best U.S. city to live in. Warren Buffett lives in Omaha. Mr. Buffett's investments have "wide moats". Therefore Omaha must have a wide moat! Seems logical. Very European. Any confirmation?
Pardon my musing and yes, this is a very interesting link.
Let's be honest though - there's not a lot to bang your buck against in those cities.
I spent a week in Little Rock once.
Felt like a month.
