CNN's definition of blog



Home sick on the couch watching Martha Stewart's guilty verdicts roll in yesterday, and caught several snippets from the forthcoming CNN special True Believers: Life inside the Dean Campaign.



In one of these teasers, the subject was the campaign's innovative use of the internet. CNN helpfully defined blog--by means of a dictionary-page style graphic--as "a frequently updated web site." Their definition did not mention the etymology: web log to 'blog to blog.



They prefaced most of the teasers with something like "Please note: the language can get salty at times."
