I find it interesting that the original meaning of factoid is "something believed to be true that is isn't" and is now used in common parlance as "little fact".
Which meant that before the shift in definition, the belief that factoid meant "little fact" was itself a factoid. But I'm not a prescriptivist. I find that evolution of language, and how up in arms people get about it, interesting.
