buzz number
Chip said tonight that AustinBloggers.org would be moving to AustinBloggers 1.9. Adina asked what would be coming with 1.9. Chip said “Well it will have Ajax, but no rounded corners. If it had rounded corners,” he said, “it would be 2.0.”
It dawned on me that he was making a Web 2.0 joke, and I said, “Oh, so it’s not a rev number, it’s a buzz number!”
Has anyone used “buzz number” to describe a version number used to link a project to a trendy technology, rather than internal versions? If not, I’m claiming this as my contribution to techster jargon.
