- hearsay = unreliable information that is heard and repeated without checking if it’s true, also it’s usually third- or fourth-hand information (my friend’s brother’s boss told him…)
- rumor = a story about someone or something that isn’t reliable and may not be true, but people keep talking about it and sharing the story
- dearth = lack or shortage of something, “dearth of good research” = there isn’t very much good research
- untapped potential = there is a lot of potential (especially for something good) that isn’t being used or developed
- blogosphere = the world of blogs (and similar social media)

- Homework: watch the video again or read the transcript, especially 9:33 to the end, to make sure you understand the main positive and negative things the speaker brings up
