Le célèbre dictionnaire anglophone Oxford vient de choisir son mot de l'année 2009: c'est "désamicaliser" (to "unfriend" dans la langue de Shakespeare).
Cette action de "rompre le lien créé précédemment dans un réseaux social" (surtout Facebook) est donc le nouveau mot le plus marquant du langage de cette année.
Signe des temps, il y a 3 ans c'était le verbe "googler" qui avait son heure de gloire: ce choix du Oxford's montre clairement que le front de la vague est dans le web social. La recherche d'information n'a pas disparu (30'000 requêtes sur le seul Google chaque seconde) mais elle simplement standard dans notre vie.
Cette "socialisation virtuelle" de notre vie se prouve par les chiffres toujours hauts de Facebook en train de s'approprier le graphe social mondial.

Perhaps in a sign of how the plague of social media has numbed us all to the value of legitimate human connections, the New Oxford American Dictionary has picked the verb "unfriend," or "to remove someone as a 'friend' on a social networking site such as Facebook," as its 2009 Word of the Year.
At the very least, it's a testament to the ubiquity of Facebook, which now has well over 300 million members around the world.
Facebook itself takes the process of "friending" and "unfriending" very seriously. It once blocked a third-party game called PackRat because it encouraged players to amass huge friends lists (good heavens! they're polluting the social graph!), banned a Burger King ad campaign that let members "sacrifice" their friends to get a free cheeseburger ("Friendship is strong, but the Whopper is stronger"), and still puts a cap of 5,000 on personal profiles' friends lists.
Last year's Oxford word of the year was the decidedly less mainstream "hypermiling."
