Are you suffering cheesepodding? The new Internet addictions
A great article from AFP Paris about new Internet addictions.
Let me just quote a few ones :
EGO-SURFING: When you frequently check your name and reputation on the Internet.
CRACKBERRY: “The curse of the modern executive: not being able to stop checking your BlackBerry, even at your grandmother’s funeral.”
GOOGLE-STALKING: Defined as “snooping online on old friends, colleagues or first dates.”
- CYBERCHONDRIA: “A headache and a particular rash at the same time? Extensive online research tells you it must be cancer.”
- CHEESEPODDING: Downloading of a song “so cheesy that you could cover it in plastic wrap and sell it at the deli counter.” Cheesepodders are especially vulnerable to soft-rock favourites from the 1970s.
