Oh this is so cool ....

'Blog' No. 1 word of the year :

"A four-letter term that came to symbolize the difference between old and new media during this year's presidential campaign tops U.S. dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster's list of the 10 words of the year.

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."

....... Blog will be a new entry in the 2005 version of the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition"

Webster makes 'blog' official ... i don't think the Oxford dictionary does yet !

Another thumbs up for blogging in this article at Foreign Policy - Web of Influence (thanks Rohit).
