Clippings, Words and Zettelkasten (150)

The primary purpose of weblogs or blogs - the term was coined 1997 by Jorn Barger - is facilitating simple publication of content on the web [Ba99].

Blogging is a common practice in order to easily publish and share personal knowledge and information on the web in the form of mainly textual weblog entries - or posts / postings respectively - usually displayed in reverse chronological order on a web site referred to as a weblog [LMW05]. Weblog entries are composed using a WYSIWYG editor.

Pretty consice and carefully avoids many stereotypes entcounterable elsewhere.
