"Net lingo" as it is known, is the "talk of the Internet", the "cyber speak," the new terms and technology and companies and products that have sprung out of the creation and community of the Internet. Hundreds of new words have emerged since the christening of the Web and millions of people who use the Internet for personal and professional reasons have had to learn, quite literally, a new language. Those in the high-tech industry surrounding the development of the World Wide Web have acquired this new vocabulary over time, and these people contribute it. Now the slang, jargon, styles of e-mail communication, technological terms, chat shorthand, emoticons, acronyms, Internet companies, groundbreaking Web sites, has infiltrated our daily lives and people and employees have varied levels of understanding. NetLingo is the current authoritative reference on Internet terminology. It is widely used within the Internet industry and for the general public. It is an online publication where users go to "look up" a word (just like we do with a regular dictionary).
