What Would This Weblog Be Without the Daily AOL Time Warner Entry?

Richard Parsons, CEO of AOL Time Warner, is faced with a difficult choice. He needs to come up with at least $1 billion in cash to buy Comcast out of a partnership, but he left the wallet with the $1 billion in it in his other pants, which he left at his summer home on the Vineyard. So he has three choices: a) borrow the money and kill AOL Time Warner's credit rating, which is tenuously hanging just above junk bond territory; b) issue more stock (100 million shares or so at the current price), forcing the already job threateningly low stock price even lower; or c) have a garage sale of corporate assets. [Hint: The correct answer is (c) Sell HBO]

Is Masturblogging a Word?

Is there a term for putting entries in a Weblog that are linked to other entries in the same Weblog (like this very entry, or this one, this one, or this one)? If no such term exists yet, I'd like to nominate "masturblogging."
