I'm wondering why people are still using the word "weblog" despite the prevalence of "blog." According to my rough research on Google Scholar, researchers have stopped using the term "weblog" since 2004. If you google "blog," you'll get 1,170,000,000 results while searching "weblog" returns 124,000,000 items only.
Google Trends shows that "weblog" has never been popular.
So why?
P.S. I'm NOT that interested in why weblog diehards still exist. This is a post to show I'm still alive and the (we)blog is not dead yet.
WeBlog, that's a nice put.
Allow me to say it again: Google rocks!
blog&weblog
yes,why people are still using the word "weblog"
Are you a native Chinese?
a possible explanation could be that a "search result" is not based on actual human usage, but based on web pages, many of which are presented by some back stage software like wordpress. e.g. in the copyright announcement, "weblog" is preferred.
whereas google trends says what people are using.
