A story at
News Factor talks about how the word "blog" is the most requested definition from Merriam Webster's online site.
I guess I lose touch with reality that people still don't know what that is. I know people now that are all crazy because they have a live journal, and they think they are on the forefront of trends. In fact they're on the trail end of it, because blogging has been around for years. I personally was not all that attracted to it (especially at the beginning) but I remember it was around.
The best part is that I have a blog now, and I'll never forget the day this girl found out I have one (which I wrote myself in PHP and MySql) and she said that I copied live journal.
