I find "listicle" inoffensive. It's an article in the form of a list. Do we have a word for that? I don't think so. Do we need a word for that? Here's 10 reasons why...
Webinar is ok too. It's a seminar on the web. As long as we have seminars not on the web it's a useful word. Almost as good as world-wide-wecture.

Never heard "listicle" before. I don't like it. It sounds too much like testicle.
Webinar is a clumsy, malformed word that is jarring to read and unpleasant to pronounce. The reason, I think, that it sounds so absurd is that it lacks any semantic integrity.
The noun 'seminar' is derived from seminary, which is in turn derived from the Latin 'seminarian', meaning breeding ground or plant nursery. These words all share their etymology with 'seed' and have to do with the dissemination and development of ideas.
The problem is that all of the meaning is loaded in the root of the word, in the 'sem' that has, in the case of webinar, been thoughtlessly excised. Without that referent, the word is meaningless; it's a linguistic cut and shut with a very conspicuous join.
