Gingi, Interrupted - My Webl

You read it. It's not misspelled. It's my Webl (pronounced "Webble"). It's the same as a Blog, but it's cooler.

Whoever is the ad wizard who pretentiously coined the term "Blog" by shamefully purging the first two letters of the word "Weblog," and what gave him or her the right? Did that ad warlock care to ask the then-simply-weblog community what it thinks should be the new term? Well, as a sign of protest (just because I like protesting simple irrelevant issues), I'm coining a new word that would mean the exact same thing but would sound swankier, and, frankly, cuter. I hereby name this journal entry a "Webl" and dub myself a "Webbler"! I am reattaching that congenial couplet, 'we', and instead bumping off that sinister, treacherous 'og' pair on the other end. Take that!

Much better. Blog has such a negative ring to it. It sounds like a bad concoction of "blah" and "smog" or "gog" or "bog." It's more of a shorthand to Balrog, Tolkien's devil incarnate, than to Weblog. Webl, on the other hand, has a fresher, more pleasant, even more sophisticated intonation. It's also similar to the now-popular and ever-present word, "Google." You don't just surf the net anymore. You google and you webl. I don't even mind if the community prefers a less-obscure spelling of my new word, such as "webble."

Now, I only need to get in touch with some patent lawyers I know...
