The Word “Blog”

While writing my last blog post about healthcare, I noticed that Mozilla Firefox (or Blogger) thought that the word “blog” didn’t exist. This surprised me because I thought that an open source browser like Firefox, and/or a very Internet-savvy company like Google (which is a virtual staple of internet usage, as we all know) would correct a word that very much exemplifies the current role of the Internet in socialization, news distribution, and self-expression.
