Mydeation

This is a really f***ed up new buzzword. It's really just a new synonym for another made up word, which I like a lot better: crowdsourcing, or using a group to solve a challenge by brainstorming ideas. So, for example, a high school kid who can't be arsed to do his English assignment abuses an Internet QA site like Yahoo Answers or Quora, by innocently asking: What do you think the main themes of Moby Dick are in 1000 words or less. Of course, mydeation can used legitimately for business to generate a product name or campaign idea or whatever. The idea behind it is okay, I just think the word itself is a monstrosity. Let's stick with crowdsourcing, eh?
