Move over liminality...
You've been replaced.
My new favourite word of the day is limerence.
It refers to that strong infatuation period you encounter when you meet someone new and feel an instant, deep and intense attraction to them.
I can see it working better though for my purposes as the deep infatuation feeling people get about a new technology or system...as shown to me recently when my colleague Michael was extolling the virtues of Flickr to me recently over lunch.
[Found via downloading the PDF (72kb) of Angela Lewis' article on cyberspace limerence. Her article was originally published in the ACA Journal, Vol 4, no 1, 2004.]
