As new technologies are emerging and evolving every day at a great rate, the technologies once called 'new' are turning into already "old" so we will no longer use the tech terms very soon. Here is an interesting article from Businessweek, "12 words you can never say in the office."
A blog is a shortened version of "Weblog," a term that emerged in the late 1990s to describe commentary that an individual publishes online. It spawned many words still in use such as "blogger" and "blogosphere." Nowadays, few people have time to blog so they are "microblogging," which is another word that's heading out the door as people turn Twitter into a generic term for blasting out 140-character observations or opinions.
