To me it is just shows how lazy people are getting when they have to cut syllables off of words. I have to agree with you dave, I don’t really like the word.

It sounds so much like blah...or maybe something a Klingon from Star Trek would say: bla'guh. Either way, as much as I understand the history of the word, I don't like it as a title for something I pride myself in doing. Though, I suppose seeing and hearing it all the time doesn't help...

"Everywhere" you turn to you'll always find the word blog. I don't really dislike it, sure I get tired of hearing it sometimes but it's not my least favorite word. I find flickr more annoying to pronounce, specially when I try to say it to Portuguese friends so that they understand how to spell it.
