What is "100 Internet Buzzwords"?
Project Overview:
pixiv Encyclopedia, operated by pixiv, and Nico Nico Pedia, operated by Dwango and Daihyakka NEWS, are two online dictionaries where users can create and edit pages covering every buzzword on the net. This year, the two services are presenting a project that will elect the #1 internet buzzword!
The 100 nominated buzzwords are those with the highest number of accesses on both services in the period from January 1st to November 15th, 2018. Among these 100 words, the one with the highest number of accesses will receive the "Word of the Year Award"!
