In the early days of the web, buzzword coinage relied on prefixes. Add an “e” or an “i” to any word or phrase and you had yourself a brand new business to flog.

i-widgets

e-grommits

A few years later- the infix became the basis for the buzz-worthy. The numeral “2” became de rigueur.

b2c

b2b

fan2team

farmer2market

dog2vomit

And now it is the turn of the suffix and again it is numeric.
