Etymology (6 comments)

This appeared not too long ago on a campus mailing list:
Web Blog
Web Services will release a more traditional Web Blog tool in late February for Public Affairs. This tool will have archiving and a more article based presentation compared to the Discussion Board.
That would appear to add another step to the etymology of "blog:"
- web log
- weblog
- blog
- web blog?
Based on this turn of events, here is my prediction for the etymological path the term will take over the next few months:
- web 2.0 blog
- world wide web 2.0 blog
- www2blog
- log
