The latest tips and news from the Blogger team
Blargon?
February 22, 2006
"Blargon
's" a new one for me, but
this William Safire piece
in the NYTimes lists a bunch of bloggy lingo:
MSM
: "mainstream media"
Above the fold
: "what we see on a blog's screen before we begin to scroll down"
The
jump
: "a place to which the blog's readership is referred inside the Web site"
sidebar
: "a column down one side of the screen displaying advertisements, archived links or a list of other blogs called a blogroll"
bye-line
: "an adios or similar farewell at the end of the blogger's politely expressed opinion or angry screed"
wingnuts
: "the prevailing put-down of right-wing bloggers"
moonbats
: "the vilification of left-wing partisans who use the Web"
ping
: "the gently noisy notification sent when a blog needs updating or has been updated"
link love
: "an unsolicited, posted link that aims only to amuse or interest"
simultaneous blogasm
: "the discovery that some other blogger has posted an identical thought at the same time"
meme
: "a type of online chain letter where bloggers answer questions designed to give a quick overview of the blogger's personality"
tag
: "a descriptive label applied to an individual post"
delicious
: "To
del.icio.us
someone is to add them to your
delicious
bookmarks."
blogerati
: "people sophisticated in operating blogs"
spam blogs, splogs
and
zombie blogs
: "these strange animated robot-generated texts meant to game search engines. When it's published as unwanted feedback on people's blogs, it's called comment spam" — definition from
former
Blogger team member
Biz Stone
fisk
: "from Robert Fisk, a U.K. journalist. That's when you take an article and reprint it on your blog adding your line-by-line critique"
Our own
Jason Goldman
is even quoted: "A Web log was and is 'a log of requests that comes into a server'; it's the domain of techie people and no fun to look at. But blog, though coined from 'Web log,' is a word open to all sorts of linguistic play that has taken on the meaning of 'a personal web page.' "
