Guess which is the hottest four letter word of 2004.Give up.OK.According to Merriam-Webster it is 'blog'.The most looked-up word on its internet site this year.The top ten are:
1)blog
2)incumbent
3)electoral
4)insurgent
5)hurricane
6)cicada
7)peloton
8)partisan
9)sovereignty
and
10)defenestration.
a couple of these words made me scramble to my pocket dictionary!.
MW has defined blog as " a website that contains an online personal journal with reflections,comments and often hyperlinks." "Blog spreads gossip as well as serving as an outlet for people increasingly disenchanted with mainstream media."
Did the presidential election and the natural disasters in usa have anything to do with voluminous hits for the top ten words? I guess so.

blogs are also being seriously followed by marketeers. lots of people prefer blog reviews of restaurants, books and other stuff to mainstream ones. this has made the marketing teams sit up and take notice!
