I like this one:
http://www.smomashup.com/how-wikipedia-killed-the-internets/2007/01/23/

The complaint is that, once the (barely notable) entry on [[Social

origin of the term, then the Wikipedia article will surpass the blog
entry as the first Google result for "social media optimization".
Breaks my heart.
