Buzzword 2009.1 - "move the needle"

Here's the first buzzword of 2009 - and it was sent in, via twitter, from the #cof09 conference. To quote @QuixoteTilts:

"Move the needle," official cliché of #cof09. Replaces "sea change" after a record-breaking run."

Need I say anything more? Except to note that a shift from sea change to needle moving might be read as the downsizing of expectations....or at least hyperbole.
