Blog Top Word of the Year
December 03, 2004
Blog is the top word of the year according to Dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster's list of the 2004 "Words of the Year."
I believe blog has become an important word so fast because blogs are so useful for engaging an audience. The people who run blogs are often the most active in their respective community; they are leaders and teachers to the rest of their public. But they also learn at the same time, through the social interaction of their audience by commenting and emails.
