Word of the year
Merriam Webster's dictionary named blog the #1 word of the year. It was the first of ten most looked-up words on the site, along with incumbent, hurricane and partisan, but the dictionary has yet to provide a definition in its paper version. The 2005 11th edition will include blog as: a web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments and often hyperlinks. Funny - of all the articles I've read about this, none explained that blog is short for weblog. Not even the dictionary.
UPDATE: Urban Dictionary is ahead of its time. Its definition of blogs takes the cake.
