Where Does the Word Blog Come From?
A Blog is Digital Cyber Blackboard
Is a Blog a digital blackboard? Recently a member of the Online Think Tank
stated this in a sentence explaining the use of Blogs in society and on the
internet. But is his comment a legitimate one? After all no one can say that a
digital blackboard is a blog? The word Blog seems to suggest "log" or a place
where entries of thoughts are made, such as a journal or log book.
But is a Blog a Log? No, Is a Frog a Hog? Sam I am? In reality Blogs are nothing
more than food for the masses. In fact the original word Blog comes from a Dr
Seuss Book, where Blogs were trout food. So is the joke really on all the
bloggers out there? In other words Blogs are only places designed for the masses
to discharge all their sound and fury like a virtual peanut gallery?
If this is the case then it is pretty sad to think that all bloggers out there
are putting all their words and thoughts into a virtual space for no reason. How
ironic that all the bloggers fell for this and still they spend countless hours
putting online their calendar categorized diatribes and monologues about things
that really don't matter.
What is even more fun to consider is that other people actually come and read
them. Are you a blogger? Don't you feel silly now that all this is really a joke
and you fell for it? A reference;
