Buzzword updates

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

Approximately 50 buzzwords were added to the Buzzword monitor web site recently, and I also listed a few of my favorite ones on the Blog last night. The whole idea of the web site is keep the definitions pretty simple, at least initially, but I suspect that the amount of information describing each buzzword will increase when people start making changes to the definitions.

Hopefully, the web site will not get too much SPAM, but if it does we will add Captcha’s to limit the access to Bots, and script monkeys. until that happens, it will be kept as simple as possible to make it easy for people to make changes to the definitions.

So take a look around, let us know what you think, and we look forward to hearing how we can improve the web site.

BLOG

Sticking with the interactive web site theme the definition below for BLOG, has been added to the Buzzword Monitor Web Site. Since this is an interactive web site, if you do not like the definition below you can go to the link and change the definition.

Definition

A BLOG is an informal online web journal that is usually focused on one subject or topic. A subscriber to the Web Site or Blog will post entries that will then be listed chronologically. Each BLOG entry will be identified by key words, or TAGs, which will then be used by search engines to help find topics of interest. After a BLOG entry is posted to a web site, a search engine web site is pinged to let it know that updates are available.

Origin

Blog probably is taken from the words WeB LOG.

Examples

Thechnorati is the most popular BLOG search engine.
