"Blog" watch: A (selective) reader
A word on purpose and method: After William Safire discussed the word "blog" in his "On Language" column for The New York Times, I got curious about finding the earliest use of the word by on-line media outlets. What follows is a selected list of articles from those same outlets employing "blog," reduced to only those articles that deal with Weblogs, their applications and the practice of Weblogging themselves; under the name of each Website you'll find a link to the search done to look for these articles, allowing you to check every article originally found. If you're looking for a Website dealing specifically with Weblogs, check MicroContent News, especially the articles by John Hiler. Suggestions and comments are always welcome.
