You Say “SoLoMo,” I Say, “I Hate My Life”

Working in tech does weird things to your vocabulary. Five years ago, if you'd told me that I'd become someone who talks about whether they have the "bandwidth" to get something done or promising to "ping" you later, I would have laughed in your face. Yet here I am, finding the bandwidth to ping people — like it or not, you adopt the language of the people around you. Still, you've got to draw the line somewhere. And for me, the phrase SoLoMo (short for social-local-mobile, if you're lucky enough to have never heard it) crosses that line and outrages all decency and common sense. When it first popped up, I assumed it was the latest feeble attempt to make "Socio Loco" take off and would die in a few weeks. But no, it seems to be catching on, and it's even crept into a couple of TechCrunch headlines.
