'Blog' is No. 1 word 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.
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!

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...
Posted by: MMM at December 1, 2004 05:14 PMYeah, 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.
