Doctorow is the one who coined the term, I think he's allowed using it.

It's an antibuzzword. It's describing the culmination of all the buzzwords that get corrupted by marketing people and destroyed by bean counters. In order to destroy something you must be able to name it. He has revealed the name, now we can take action.
