Thursday's word: Whatyado-ocracy

Whatyado-ocracy: A refined-by-discussion way of expressing the concept of Ad hoc meritocracy (which is one of the key principles of Produsage, the key term of class today).


When people earn their cool factor by what they DO rather than what they inherit (i.e. aristocracy) or their position in a heirarchy (i.e. a business).

Related to Heterachy.

  2. Grace, I am not sure what I would do without your word-of-the-day! I love them. I do not have the pleasure of being able to attend class and you draw me in- so, thanks!
