WoWover - Living the Virtual Life.
I won a $250 prize for best new Media X word with WoWover. Awarded at the Stanford Media X Annual Meeting, April 16-17, 2007, Palo Alto, CA. I donated the money, less the cost of a nice Stanford Polo Shirt, to the Media X student travel fund. I had coined the term in private email a few weeks earlier.
ABCNews.com’s Silicon Insider Michael S. Malone wrote up the results in this story: “I’m Sorry, A ‘WoWover’?”.
