Who Let the Blogs Out?

~
Writing blogs has become almost a cottage industry. I guess it would be fair to call blog sites a media outlet, as more and more of them are becoming sources of news and information. This is not without controversy, as many of these sights are of questionanble integrity. What may appear to be a scoop, may in fact be a contrived story.
~ Web logs as the were called in the beginning before being abbreviated to blogs, have become a part of the culture. While there remain many that are innocent diaries, their scope runs the gamut from religion to world politics. They have become the forum of struggling would-be writers and poets. Some provide information on a wide range of topics. As such, they have become wonderful sources for research. With a measure of patience, one can find material on practically anything from the mating habits of the fruit fly to quantum Physics.
~ Blogging has become so poular that it is has given rise to a growing list of words, terms and phrases not yet being reflected in dictionaries. Indeed, the internet has addressed this issue, and has spawned several unique dictionary sites. For example, there are: http://pseudodictionary.com , http://wikipedia.org and http://education.yahoo.com to name three. Interestingly, the spell-checker for this very site, does not even recognize the word "blog," or any of its forms such as blogged, blogging and blogger.
~ If I may, I have compiled some of these terms, phrases and words that are not found in typical reference publications. I have taken the liberty of adding some I have made up. (I think I made them up.)
