Blog Tech Talk

I love Wikipedia. I don't know...I found this interesting. Actually, I find most of the new tech vocab interesting.
Does that make me a geek? Oh, never mind, don't answer that.

Audioblog A blog where the posts consist mainly of voice recordings sent by mobile phone, sometimes with some short text message added for metadata purposes. (cf. podcasting) .

Bleg A blog entry consisting of a request to the readers, such as for information or contributions. A portmanteau of
"blog" and "beg".

Blog feed The XML-based file in which the blog hosting software places a machine-readable version of the blog so that it may be "syndicated" for further distribution on the web. Formats such as RSS and Atom are used to structure the XML file. .

Blogfoo Statements written with an air of generality while obviously pointed at a specific person or group of people.

Blog hopping to follow links from one blog entry to another, with related side-trips to various articles, sites, discussion forums, and more. .

Blogorrhea A portmanteau of "blog" and "diarrhea", meaning excessive and/or incoherent talkativeness in a weblog. .

Blogroll A list of blogs. Usually a blogger features a list of his favorite blogs in the sidebar of his blog. These lists can be made dynamic using services like BlogRolling. .

Blog site The web location (URL) of a blog, which may be either a dedicated domain, a sub-domain, or embedded within a web site.
Blogsite
Sometimes confused with a simple blog or blog site, but a blogsite is a web site which combines blog feeds from a variety of sources, as well as non-blog sources, and adds significant value over the raw blog feeds. .

Blogsnob A person who refuses to respond to comments on their blog from people outside their circle of friends. .

Dark Blog A non-public blog (e.g. behind a firewall).

Flog A portmanteau of "fake" and "blog". A blog that's ghostwritten by someone, such as in the marketing department. .

Moblog A portmanteau of "mobile" and "blog". A blog featuring posts sent mainly by mobile phone, using SMS or MMS messages. They are often photoblogs. .

Multi-blog Creating, maintaining, and running multiple blogs (2 or more) simultaneously. .

Multi-blogger An individual, business, or institution that runs multiple blogs. .

Permalink Permanent link. The unique URL of a single post. Use this when you want to link to a post somewhere. .

Ping The alert in the TrackBack system that notifies the original poster of a blog post when someone else writes an entry concerning the original post. .

TrackBack A system that allows a blogger to see who has seen the original post and has written another entry concerning it. The system works by sending a 'ping' between the blogs, and therefore providing the alert..

Troll A commenter whose sole purpose is to attack the views expressed on a blog, for example, a liberal going to a
conservative blog, or vice versa. Many trolls will leave their remarks on multiple posts and continue to visit the blog, sparking
spirited debate amongst the blog's regular readers. Trolls' verbosity can range from eloquent to crass, although many,
unfortunately, fall into the latter category.

Advertising network Pheedo has teamed up with the folks for BlogHer, which is apparently an organisation now and not just a blogging conference, to launch the Pheedo BlogHer Ad Network.

Troll is a pretty old term that comes from Usenet, not blogging. Oh, and if you're wondering who I am, I'm a bloghopper.

I liked your little intro, Christopher. It had the tone of a 1940's detective movie.

I don't know Christopher, yet I just spoke to him. I am no BlogSnob.

I din't mean to be confusing Skoogle, I just finished up my monthly RCJ column (which I turn in about ever 6 weeks-don't anybody set their clocks by me)on blog advertising. So I had blogs on the brain. The post is straight out of www.wikipedia.org. That's any site a curious person can get lost on for a very long time.

What I meant to say is 'That's site any curious person can get lost on for a very long time.'

Owl...as I look out at our increasingly noisy (but only for a bit) little world, I don't see quite how the runes could look smell, taste (anyone want tomatoes, zucchinis, summer squash?) and feel any better.

...just so you know, your post made the tension evaporate from my shoulders. Thanks
