There's been an awful lot of moaning in the press recently about what they insist in calling "blogs" - the word is weblog. What puzzles me is that all the examples they give are almost without exception online journals and not weblogs, and also without exception are sites of which I have never heard. And of course a weblog is a collection of links rather than just the random ramblings of some ego-maniac who think their views on life or their random comments about the availability of wi-fi in their house are interesting to other people. The links are important not the raving.
