Stop using me!

Josh Bernoff wants us all to stop talking about "users", and instead refer to the people who use the products we all create in this industry as people, customers and friends.  Amen. The other term which I have spent years trying to erase from my vocabulary is "consumers".  The people who use our products aren't "consumers", they're customers… people… and friends.
