3. Digital Acronyms (B2C, B2B, B2G, G2C, P2P, etc.)Posted by johndan at November 21, 2003 08:48 AM | TrackBackThe sociologists will tell you that one sign of "in group" behavior is the use of special language, words and phrases only understood by members of the crowd who "get it."
Whatever.
All I know is that these stupid acronyms with the number 2 standing for the word "to" drive me up the wall.
There was a time, around 1998 or 1999, when every VC PowerPoint contained at least one of these acronyms on every slide. Sometimes several. Anyone who invented a new one was a true visionary.
No wonder so many venture-backed startups failed.
Thankfully, I'm seeing these less and less often.
