Don't like the concept for myself. Always seemed a stupid term but, then again, I was always averse to most InternetSpeak, LOL OMG OMG LOL LMFAOAROFLATUAEE!!!!
And I don't see how bulletin boards and general Web pages now suddenly (by many, anyway) seem to get reotroactively labeled 'blogs.' I mean, I've got Web pages dating back to the early '90s that concern my scientific work, that colelct togetehr links mostly for my own reference, and that discuss other interests of mine...I sure wouldn't call them 'blogs' (not least because I haven't really significantly updated any of them in at least three years) but some would. To me, a 'blog' (damn, I hate that term) is a web-log, an online diary (itself hardly a new thing...people had those back at the inception of the first widely-used graphical browsers like Mosaic and the like, and probbaly before).
I pretty much ignore my MySpace page, which wasn;t my idea in the first place. Kind of bemused, in the last couple of days, to get invited to join some sex groups -- including 'cam' ones (don't have a WebCam and have absolutely no desire for one) -- on MySpace...not that I'm averse to the topic, but the idea of playing around on MySpace just made me LOL and LOL, OMG...
