I don't think abbreviating thrords down to their first thretters should constitute a bonafide dord, unless the acronym spells something like C.A.T. Clearly, "www" is not a dord even though it is highly obnoxious, and while we're on the topic, why does anyone say 'www' instead of 'world wide web?' It takes just as long. Kiwis say 'dub dub dub,' which is faster as long as you don't mind sounding like a stuttering ewok.
Webogganing is fun, but RSS feeds would be better if they could appear within the webog; maybe under the photo or in a column off to the side. I certainly don't consider them to be a "secret weapon" as Rafe Needleman asserts. They're not very secret after you told me about them, now are they? And weapon? Seriously?

Cog, stardate: Setting Orange, The Aftermath 33, Year of Our Lady of Discord 3173
cogito ergo sum has become loquor ergo sum in web 2.nothing
or perhaps webogito ergo sum: I webog, therefore I exist.
Can anyone point out any differences between webogs, wegs, blogs, weogs, etc.? Technologically speaking (teaking) it seems there are none; so why do blogs constitute the majority of web logs? Perhaps now that Logumb exists as a signpost pointing towards the nerizons (new horizons) of possibilities, many people who write web logs will take up webogging. Or wegging. Weogging will probably remain a very small minority, serving only the more hardcore web loggers.
If Mendel was alive today I wonder what sort of new suprains (super strains) he could create by combining the netologies (new technologies).

Throption
The last posting refers to the twices we all face dealing with dords. It is time to discuss the throption: instead of using the dord 'blog,' use the other dords 'weg,' 'webog,' or 'weog.' I prefer 'webog' as it subtly alludes to the bogging nature (boture) of webogs on the net.
Captain's log (Cog) stardate: etting Orange, The Aftermath 23, Year of Our Lady of Discord 3173. Does every webogger fancy hirself a captain? Why else would s/he have a log? Does s/he think of 'the web' as hir ship? Very confusing...

Dumblog's function
The function of Dumblog will be to post, track, and invent new dumb cyber words, or cyords. Perhaps it is appropriate to begin at the beginning, but as none of us know where or when (or if) that may be, we will begin with "Blog," a conjunction of 'web' and 'log.'
As you may have noticed Orwell point out, this is a function of newspeak: slowly dumbing down the language and therefore the users of the language. Obviously, 'blog' is a dumb word, or "dord," and should be avoided in the common parlance lest we all dumb down, or "duwn." As this may not always be possible because using dords creates the illusion of saving time, or "saiming," the most practical alternative, or "pracnative," is to flood the common vernacular, or "commacular," with dords.
To avoid dumbing down, or "duwning," we are all given two choices, or "twices:" 1) Don't use dords. Just refrain, refrain, refrain. If someone says, "Did you see so-and-so's blog?" A rejoinder along the lines of "No, so-and-so's WEB LOG (be sure to add emphasis here by increasing the volume of your voice and possibly raising your eyebrows) doesn't interest me." Or, "Yes, wasn't that an interesting WEB LOG?" would suffice. 2) Make the fundamental dumbness of dords obvious by making them out of everything you can possibly think of. This second way has the advantage of increasing your natural creativity, or "nativity."
Don't stay tuned, but pop back at random intervals ("ranvals") to see what other dords are analysed and/or created. Feel free to add your own. Neup (that's the dord for 'next' and 'up'): how to dord 'supercalifragilisticexpealidocious.'
