USA Today: "Crackberry" is the winner of the 2006 Word-of-the-Year contest by the Webster's New World College Dictionary staff. Crackberry is a pun on the popular Blackberry PDA for its addictive constant-flow-of-communication quality. Among other contenders: neuroeconomics (an emerging field studying emotions activated in financial decisions) and carbon footprint (the effect one's daily activities, such as washing clothes or driving to work, have on the environment).

I bet the Treo people are mad!

Don't you mean the "Cracktreo" people?

WM

Our company gives us a Treo, and I am secretly jealous that I don't have the Blackberry that everyone else seems to have.

The company for which I work gives us pencils and notepads. Never runs out of electrons.

Well, in all fairness, I do travel a lot and have to keep up with email.

Remember the days of no email? I remember not that long ago when my colleague put her email address on her business card; I thought she was crazy. Now...that's practically the only way people communicate!
