blog? Why would you hate that word? It sounds so... blog. O_o
But Wiki *is* a word born to be hated, it sounds so wiki-tiki-piki grrr
Just my subjective and humble opinion about.

I've never even head "blook" before. I hate it already though!

The reason I hate "wiki" is because it's used too often. What's wrong with having a wiki-powered website, but not actually mentioning the term anywhere? It's the same with RSS as well. People don't call webpages HTMLs.

I also hate anything to do with podcast.... mobcast, vodcast, photocast, godcast....... cringing!

That's because this "poll" was commissioned to promote the "Blooker Prize" organized by Lulu.com:

Hah. That completely discredits the poll. And like Tony, I also never heard of blook and doubt it deserves the fourth spot on the hate list (since people likely don't come across it that much in the first place). Interesting way to cheat yourself into a press report tho...
