The Year of the Blog
The BBC has an article today that announces that the word 'blog' has been picked as a top term for 2004. The article goes through various blog-based statistics, Merriam-Websters definition of the term - "a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments and often hyperlinks" (interesting, that last one...), and closes with what might someday prove to be a key socio-technical phenomenon: "In many repressive regimes and developing nations, blogs have been embraced by millions of people keen to give their plight a voice".
