Changes In Blogging?
Blog-speak from an old article

I was going through some old copies of Newsweek this morning and I found the August 24, 2002 issue quite interesting because of an article entitled "Living In The Blog-Osphere". The article goes from page 42 to 45.
The article is interesting in itself already, and perhaps it can still be read at http://newsweek.msnbc.com unless it has been taken out altogether from the server. But here's something that I learned about only after reading the article.
A Blogspeak Primer
Blog or Weblog - A personal Web site with brief items-- often with links to other items or articles on the Web -- arranged in reverse chronological order.
Blog-osphere - An alternate universe created by the aggregation of hundreds of thousands of blogs.
Blogrolling - Making a persistent list of links that connect with other blogs. If you suck up to someone in hopes of a link, you're "blognosing."
Permalink - Making a digital mark on an item so that others can link to it directly.
War blog - a post 9-11 Weblog that links to and comments on war-related news.
But the article from Newsweek is two years old and I am wondering whether Blogspeak has evolved much in the meantime. Can anyone update me on this?
