Merriam-Webster Inc. said on Tuesday that blog, defined as “a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments and often hyperlinks,” was one of the most looked-up words on its Internet sites this year.
Springfield, Massachusetts-based Merriam-Webster compiles the list of the 10 words of each year by taking the most researched words on its Web sites and then excluding perennials such as affect/effect and profanity.
Blog will be a new entry in the 2005 version of the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition.
The complete list of words of the year is available here.
We bloggers rock!
the link is broken 😉
Oops 😛
Fixed it now 🙂
Thanks for letting me know 🙂
Lol, blog was one of the words I looked up this year 🙂
I found yours and I had no idea what a blog was, so I looked it up.
🙂
So my blog was the first blog you ever visited?
If that’s the case, then WOW.
It means my blog was your portal into this whole parallel universe of blogs and fun 🙂
Cool…
Yeah, it was the first blog 🙂
I don’t watch TV and people at school I didn’t even know would stop me and tell me I looked like someone called “Bahaa2” on a show called Star Academy, so I got curious and ran a search on Star Academy and found a post of yours. I found pictures of her on Waleg through your blog 🙂
After that, I was immediatly hooked. From your blog I got introduced to Eman’s, Natasha’s, and Haitham’s blogs.
WOW 🙂
That’s so cool 🙂
I’m proud that my blog was your doorway into this fun world 🙂
So, people think you look like Bahaa?
Hmmm, now, we have a small idea of how you might look like 😉
In JU, I was likened to a number of people but mostly to Noah Wyle from ER and secondly to David Duchovny from the X-files.
I forgot who else they used to say I looked like.
