tumblelog
n.— «Blogging has mutated into simpler forms (specifically, link- and mob- and aud- and vid- variant), but I don’t think I’ve seen a blog like Chris Neukirchen’s Anarchaia, which fudges together a bunch of disparate forms of citation (links, quotes, flickrings) into a very long and narrow and distracted tumblelog. A good idea and I’m sure more of these will be showing up.» —“Stop, For Blogging’s Sake” by Why The Lucky Stiff RedHanded Apr. 12, 2005. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
