Jargon Watch, Media Edition

Posted on October 18, 2008 by Felix

In her Fishbowl NY exit interview, Rachel Sklar says that she’s “excited to do stuff in other verticals”. Earlier today, a friend of mine in the media unselfconciously used the words “surface” and “obsolete” as verbs in rapid succession. Both of these people are editorial-side employees. Or would have been considered such, anyway, before the distinction between editorial- and business-side started blurring so much.

    I just heard “verticals” used in much the same sense today, in an interview with a software developer who was trying to explain how he planned to make money from a product he is currently giving away.
