Found out about this site<\/a> today, via Miss Snark<\/a>. It’s called BiblioBuffet and as soon as I’ve finished this post, it’s going on my blogroll under daily reads.<\/p>\n

The article that caught my attention is about plogs–a word Amazon has trademarked and seems to suggest is a contraction of “personal blog.” (Since “blog” itself is short for weblog, I personally wish they’d chosen “pwog.” It’s much more fun to say, and suggests pucker-lipped little baby amphibians, which is always a plus.) The BiblioBuffet article, otoh, refers to “plog” as a hybrid of plug and blog. It will be interesting to see if the grassroots meme overpowers Amazon’s corporate narrative.<\/p>\n

Check the article to see what people–mainly readers–have to say about plogs. It’s not all of it good.<\/p>\n
