Working in tech does weird things to your use of language. Five years ago, if you'd told me that I would become the kind of person who talks about whether they have the "bandwidth" to get something done or promising to "ping" someone later, I would have laughed in your face. Yet here I am, finding the bandwidth to ping people you adopt the language of the people around you.Still, you've got to draw the line in the sand somewhere, and for me, the phrase SoLoMo outrages all decency and common sense. When I first heard it, I assumed it was the latest feeble attempt to make "Socio Loco" take off and would die off in a few weeks. But no, the usage seems to be spreading, and it's even crept into a couple of TechCrunch headlines.
