n. An easy-to-update website characterized by dated entries displayed in reverse chronological order. Originally, text-based and written in an informal, conversational style, blogs increasingly feature audio, photo, and video content. Bloggers often link to other blog entries, encourage comments, engage in collaborative tagging schemes, and otherwise contribute to social networks and user-generated databases. [Coined in 1999 by Peter Merholz as a contraction for web log.]
