you're damned fucking right

"Blog" and "moblog" are not transparent words. "Televisor" was not as good a term as "television" or "television set", and so it went away. I expect the same to happen to "moblog", if not "blog", in ten years. Because they're geek words. They're codemonkey words. (I can hear Cory Doctorow yelling, "l337, damnit!") They are crap, artificial, ugly kludges of words.

"Blog" is an ugly word, no question. I do think it serves a purpose, however.

What's a "moblog"? Is ti short for homoblog? Or mob-blog? Or something else entirely?

Warbling, "Going moblog."

Uh, no. I gagged on that one.
