And the word of the year winner is "Podcast"!

Digital Home Canada - And the word of the year winner is "Podcast"!: "Podcast, defined as 'a digital recording of a radio broadcast or similar program, made available on the Internet for downloading to a personal audio player,' will be added to the next online update of the New Oxford American Dictionary, due in early 2006.

The word is derived from a combination of 'broadcasting' and 'iPod' and according to the dictionarys publishers, 'podcast' was selected as the Word of the Year for 2005 because thousands of podcasts are now available online at websites such as iPodder.com, tracked on sites such Podcast.net."
