Then I think I shouldn't.

Oh and I hate the word "blog" - it's like nails on a chalkboard to hear. I dunno why, I guess I hate trendy buzzwords.
Trendy buzzword? You're a decade too late for it being a trendy buzzword. I first started blogging in early 2005, and it had already been established by then.

I'm a little slow. I live in the woods and I still use LiveJournal.

I'm pretty sure the term "blog" predates LiveJournal actually.

An old friend of mine, her boyfriend's nickname was Blog and he had the domain Blog.com. He held out for a while before selling it. I have no idea how much he got because they broke up around that time.

See, now you know I'm not full of crap. Well that or I hacked The Wayback Machine and edited myself in or I have a time machine and went back to March of 2000. :wink:

+1

It very quickly replaced Pandora for me when I found it.
+2

I've been using last.fm for quite some time. I don't really do the whole internet radio thing unless I'm looking for something new. It's great for finding similar artists/genres, even my more obscure stuff.
