Mar 15, 2000 -- The Internet has destroyed traditional paradigms for doing business, and now it's changing our vocabulary. Here are three examples, the first from The Industry Standard; the second two, Internet World News.
Doing a Google.
This is a new phrase in business schools. It means raising a lot of money without having a clear business model. (Google's co-founder coined the phrase.)
Amazoned
To have a dominant position in an established market, such as book retailing, suddenly threatened by an online competitor.
Schwabed
Coined by Paul Stapleton, editor of The ISP Report, to describe the experience of Net firms as off-line firms move their resources online to give the dot-coms hell, just as Charles Schwab & Co. has done.
