[cisco-voip] What's with BLOG????

[Wydra, Jason]

Is it just me or did the media decide that they're going to call every
BBS on the internet a BLOG all the sudden?? I had no idea what a BLOG
was. I had to look it up in the internet before I felt comfortable
posting to one... Here is what I found.....

TO ME THIS IS A BUNCH OF B.S..... The media didn't know what to call
BBSs so they made their own name up. Now we have to follow it because
they are stupid????  I call this B.S.!!!!!!

 

Sorry for the off-matter subject. I just don't want to refer to this BBS
as a "BLOG"

 

Thanks,

 

Jason Wydra
