I see a phrase pop up here and there and I want to simply be anal and correct people (like when they say they feel nauseous.....).
Blogs aren't a new idea. They're popular. I had a BBS back in the early 80's that allowed me to post whatever I felt like whenever I felt like. I've ran many database driven sites that allowed me to update via web interface.
The tool set for doing this has gotten much better and now it's a popular thing to do, plus it has a nifty catch-word: blog. But this type of information sharing capability has been around for quite a while.
We now return you to your non-anal posting, already in process.
