  • Now that Microsoft has released its blogging service, Spaces, and is poised to become the “Great Popularizer of Blogging” worldwide forevermore, might not we expect a rebellious undercurrent of the extant to devise and popularize a new slang term for “blogging” so as to distance themselves from Microsoft’s marketing strategies?


     


    Actually, I expect some ingenious high school students, if not already, to spread new slang for “blogging” so as to avoid the intelligible discernment of coy high school administrators who are, or soon shall be, keying on intercepted or overheard messages which they view as subcultural/conspiratorial.


     


    Already? Sure.Like popularized brand-names jell-o, a xerox, or kleenex, a lot of Xangans already refer to their blog as “my xanga” and use it even as a verb: “Did you xanga today?”But it’s far-fetched to project that all blogging will ever be known as “xangaing”.heh heh


     


    So what shall it be?


     


    I propose the slang “slamming” (as employed on my comment page) or “bashing” or “brusing” (web-rusing?!).Yep.I think with Microsoft enlisting billions worldwide to become part of “the blogging revolution” that I’d rather be know as a bruiser, I mean webruser, henceforth.
