Bloggy?

June 15, 2004 3:42 PM

Is there a single-word noun that means "things that relate to blogs/are in the manner of blogs?" If not, any ideas for a made-up one?

Nothing that I know of. Perhaps blogography or blogistry? A snarkier person than me might suggest onanism.

Bloggy, obviously.

"You know what I did today? I'll tell you what I did..."

"Dude, I don't care."

"Well I'm gonna tell you anyway, I'm feelin' all bloggy today..."

"A snarkier person than me might suggest onanism."

You must mean me, 'cause I immediately thought of "wankfest".

Nouns: blogosphere ("My blog is just one among many in the giant blogosphere"), blogosity ("I love reading so-and-so -- his blogosity is flawless."), blogness ("I'm filled with blogness -- I see potential links everywhere!).

Since I'm a guy who isn't too fond of the neologism "blog", and I'm also a guy who thinks that weblogs are too quickly dismissed by that segment of the population that finds them narcissistic, let me suggest the perfectly good word "journalistic".

Of course, there's a wide range of weblog styles, and "journalistic" doesn't cover many of them...

Although "journalistic" is an adjective, I guess, and you wanted a noun. Hm...

Das blogschtaat.

Alternatively: blogosphere.

Bloggery gets my vote.

My first thought, and one I've used a few times, is Blogulace. I also use Blogular a lot. But then I do live alone.
posted by chicobangs at 11:28 PM on June 15, 2004

I've used bloggish and weblogesque in similar usage.

All great suggestions, and Johnny's "blogalia" will suit my purposes perfectly. Thanks!
