Shall we shout "Hurray" now?! The word "Blog" is announced word of the year 2004 by Merriam-Webster, the American dictionary publisher (I read it in a Dutch article). The blog term will be added to the on-line dictionary. Competing terms were: 'incumbent', 'electoral' and 'insurgent'.
According to another dictionary publisher (the Oxford English Dictionary) Merriam-Webster is way behind, a word like "blogosphere" was more eligible as word of the year.
On a grey day like today I needed a smile.
