Such speech could be intentional but probably is not. The style heightens the sense of immediacy and urgency in speech and writing, but the frequent clumsiness in media speech suggests it is neither intentional or planned. The Greek style of the Gospel of Mark employs the technique effectively, though. Mark situates the life and ministry of Jesus in an active, brisk, sometimes breathless setting wherein his divine mission and human needs constantly intersect.
Some words, and some neologisms, get too much exposure; we use them too much. Here are some I could live without, at least in the senses and ways they are typically used:

incredible– It seems to be the omnicompetent adjective of the day and is rarely used in its literal sense. It seems not to mean anything, really. Or too much: despite the intended praise, who wants to be known as “an incredible human being”? Don’t we need more credibility?
in-depth — I weep for the numerous, more suitable adjectives scorned in favor of that awkward term.

impacted — there was a time when the term referred only to wisdom teeth and bowels. It’s still an unpleasant word, even for a universal, verbalized noun-cum-transitive verb. What and who isn’t being “impacted” these days by something or someone? Why, only the other day the local newspaper related how one car impacted another in a crash! Moreover, these days one must surely be most effective or influential when one is impactful.

I could go on, but I need to confess that as we Americans change our speech in ways alternatively annoying and delightful, people around the globe continue to outstrip us as they use and transform English. Someone said the other day that the global language is not English but broken English. I’ll not lament that a language that belongs to everyone must belong to none; rather, I am relieved that I do not have to conduct business and life using broken Chinese or Russian. But I am perhaps no richer for that and my being functionally monolingual. And so my respect for international friends and acquaintances who have made great efforts, successfully, to learn English grows deeper by the year.

My Dear, if I say you are gorgeous:

You knock my eyes out!

What if I say Hey, Per-gorgeousness?

Have I eyes enough to last? I hope so.

Ah, there’s the rub! Seems the democraweb functions only among those with access, apart from considerations of interest or ability. And part of the point is that assertions of the liberating powers of the Internet and blogging are compromised; for example, automobiles are great (mostly)–for folks who can have them, and many who do not are looking for ways to get them. Case in point: the new upper and middle economic classes in China are snapping up luxury models. Somewhat analogously, folks who have computers and web access (inherent frustrations, difficulties, and costs aside!) find some “payoff” or they would find some alternative form of self-inflicted pain and expense.

One payoff is the chance to mouth off, in varying degrees of civility or not, style or not, knowledge or not. The remarkable thing about the democraweb is its ubiquity in the developed nations and its varied growth among the developing nations, where less tolerant governments find ways to restrict the free flow (China again is a good example).

Well, perhaps that’s a good place to pause and pose a question: is not the concept of a democraweb much the same as democracy itself — more an ideal concept than a concept fully realized? Similar to the concept and system of a republican democracy, what if democraweb is not as accurate a term as, say, republiweb?
