You’re absolutely right. That’s why I put “weblogs” in scare quotes, and probably shouldn’t have said it that way at all. But it is true, apparently, that the “first weblogger” came out recently saying that weblogs should be primarily logs of interesting websites, with little commentary because, after all, the sites already say what needs to be said.

Your memory is just fine. My revisionist history is at fault.

I was under the impression that a weblog (web log) was…well, just a log or a diary on the web. At some point someone came up with the “blog”, which apparently was catchier.

Of course, my remembering of the issue is hazy ;) .
