Blog comes from Web-Logbook and I have never considered it to be strange... but then in the German language we have many English words and expressions we must get used to all the time. Maybe that is why it is a kind of normal for me...

"Blog" connotes one person sitting alone and adding to his or her log, while in fact we're all networking. I think our title should come from that interaction — perhaps we are the weavers of the Web.Mark D.

My impression is that the word blog is actually becoming more generally known, with many BBC correspondents and newspaper journalists having blogs which are widely read. It's not the most attractive word, but as someone with a log-burner at home, I'm used to the sound, so it doesn't bother me. :-)Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.com
