Web 2.0 is Millionth English Word

Hinglish term 'jai ho' along with other Indian entry 'slumdog' failed to make it as the 1 millionth word or phrase in English language with web 2.0 clinching the honors, a US-based language monitoring group said.

The Global Language Monitor announced that Web 2.0 has bested Jai Ho, N00b and Slumdog as the 1,000,000th English word or phrase.

Web 2.0 is a technical term meaning the next generation of World Wide Web products and services. It has crossed from technical jargon into far wider circulation in the last six months.

The Global Language Monitor, which uses a math formula to track the frequency of words and phrases in print and electronic media, said web 2.0 appeared over 25,000 times in searches and was widely accepted, making it the one millionth word.
