It's not surprising that 'blog' was found by Merriam Webster to be the most looked up word of 2004 on its site. There are more people than ever blogging, Technorati estimating just about over 4.8 million people blogging. I guess International Weblogger's Day contributed to that too in a sense. I'm hoping next year we're gonna get more widespread coverage, but until then we all will continue chronicling the little abstract thoughts and details of our lives.. I love reading my archives, because I see myself as I saw myself then, and see how my writing has changed, how I've matured a bit (even though it might not be evident), how my lifestyle has changed. And I'm positive that this growing trend in blogging will not cease for quite a while (although I admit it's sad that more bloggers also means more reckless and unimportant bloggers, but then again, they're bloggers all the same.) I guess we veterans get a bit of the good light. We've known what its like to be told "A blog? What? A journal anyone can read? Preposterous!". Or maybe not.
