Word of the Year: BLOG

11/30/2004

This news from Reuters is not too surprising

A four-letter term that came to symbolize the difference between old and new media during this year's presidential campaign tops U.S. dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster's list of the 10 words of the year.

Merriam-Webster Inc. said on Tuesday that blog, defined as "a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments and often hyperlinks," was one of the most looked-up words on its Internet sites this year.

Is it me, or is this more fuel for Steve Rubel's campaign to have bloggers named as Time Magazine's "Person of the Year"?
