webocracy 

Like its predecessor, bureaucracy, webocracy means all of the forms, documentation and policies you need to wade through to get anything done. Webocracy is simply "lots of paperwork and wasted time", only online or via the Internet.
The patient tried to access her medical records via the new online system, but was confused and discouraged after wading through all of the webocracy.

Shackteâu

A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
