"Weblog"

From Encyclopedia Dramatica:

After Al Gore invented the internets, years of evolution revealed what the public wanted from the explosive and powerful new media:

• Porn
• A way to auction collectible dolls, beads, and holy cheese sandwiches to an international market (See also Ebay)
• A vehicle for inflicting insipid personal musings, boring dream recounts, bad poetry, and hare-brained opinions on more than family and coworkers.

American industry immediately addressed the first two needs but it was not until the advent of the blog that the third was fulfilled. A weblog is a website maintained by an individual, clique or organization for the purpose of posting articles about a specific subject. Weblog entries are presented in reverse chronological order and in Cinemascope with Dolby 5.1 sound.

Many weblogs allow visitors to leave public comments, which can lead to a community of readers centered around the blog, while others are non-interactive. The totality of weblogs or blog-related websites is usually called the blogosphere.
