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.

"Web log" isn't a good choice because, let's not forget, a web log was originally, and is properly, the name for the hits log on your server. - the thing that Wusage analyzes.

Damn thing's a blog. You guys are beginning to remind me of Abe Simpson.
