Blogging There sometimes isn't anything more painful than watching mainstream media trying to explain what a weblog is and why people do it. Actually there sometimes isn't anything more painful than watching me trying to explain what a weblog is and why people do it. But I digress. Suw Charman appeared on the BBC World Service the other week in quite a carefully researched piece and managed to get in terms like Moblogging and Blogisphere. And now the contrast as Wendy McLure appears in a piece for Fox News which is about what you'd expect. Here, Wendy hilariously blogs the report (with screenshots). Choice example of Fox's voiceover:
""The term 'blog' is a shortened version of 'weblog.' They've been around for years but just recently thousands of people have used those sites to catalog the details of their lives on webpages created for them, by them."
