I'm always hearing people come up with new ways to say "www" ; a number of European languages don't really use the letter; small children have trouble with it. Conclusion: any number of people could have come up with this slightly jocular and familiar reference to the otherwise overly formal (and redundant) "International Workers of the World." As to Hardt and Negri, I plowed through Empire and thought, though it contains interesting nuggets here and there, that on the whole it is a cloud of ill-justified pontificating.
