Buzzword Bingo

Posted by

Looking for that catchy title for your next presentation ?

I took the first word from the title of 1000 Oracle OpenWorld presentations, and looked for patterns Smile.  I omitted some obvious terms that are either products or definite/indefinite articles:

  • Oracle
  • Peoplesoft 
  • The
  • How 
  • OAUG
  • General
  • MySQL

And here is what we end up with:


SQL> select buzz, count(*)
  2  from buzz
  3  group by buzz
  4  order by 2 desc;

BUZZ                                                                                                   COUNT(*)
