Blogging for Dummies? 223
Guinnessy writes "Wired News reports that one of the most respected journalism schools in America is going to be teaching blogging as part of next semester's course. I find this quite interesting, especially considering the existing controversy over whether blogging, such as Slashdot, is real journalism or not. I still haven't made up my mind." "Blog" now takes the cake as the most ill-used word of 2002. Please draw distinctions between webpages with news, mindless link propagation, discussion sites, personal diaries or journals, etc.

This may be a great thing. It somewhat officially broadens what an important institution considers journalism.

I'll see you "their!" Don't forget about that "grammer" part. There is evil afoot, and Oxford and Webster have conspired to delude you into believing that there is no such word as "grammer." Take no heed! Sally forth!

How is [a weblog] different from an online journal?
Weblogs do not contain little graphics at the end of each entry telling you that the author is "feeling bummed."

We're gonna need a new buzzword pretty soon that means "painfully lame yet expertly produced synthetic blog". I can't think of one at the moment, but then I don't even know what "leet" means.
Hey chicks and dudes, let's rap!

So let me get this right. The English translation of the French word for on line chatting is 'pussy'? This merely confirms what the English have always suspected about the French.
