Is anyone else getting REALLY sick of the term BLOGGING? All it means is someone who thinks his/her opinion is SO IMPORTANT, they MUST put it in writing.

Well, it is cooler than "Dear Diary," don'cha know ;-)

But a quick question about the etymology -- is it 'blogging (as in weblogging), meaning that it would have to appear on the World Wide Web, or is it b-logging? (For you old Apple II geeks out there, "brun" was "binary run" as opposed to just "run," for example. I don't think I ever quite grasped the difference although there was one. If this is the etymology then a blog would have to on some level be binary (machine-readable).

I'm just sick of the methods that some of these so-called bloggers use to promote their sheer genius, their latest musings, or their latest top-ten recordings.

IIRC, there was one of them here today...

I think it is an overplayed term too.

Did you post your opinion on that yourself, in writing?
