Which of these new terms you particularly like or dislike? Do the Lulu.com survey:
"BLOG", "BLOOK", "BLEADER" AND "BLAUTHOR"
- WHICH IS THE UGLIEST, OR COOLEST, BLOGGING TERM OF THEM ALL?WIN A FREE ISBN OR PRIZE-WINNING BOOK BY TELLING US WHAT YOU THINK!
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the invention of the word "blog", the fifth of the word "blook" (books based on blogs or websites), and the second of the Lulu Blooker Prize-the first literary prize for blooks. To mark this historic occasion, we're asking what YOU think of all the wonderful-or gruesome?-new words spawned by the "blogosphere" (there's another one) and by the web as a whole.
Do you love 'em or hate 'em? And which ones do you love or hate most?
Let us know by answering six pairs of mulitple-choice questions-and qualify to be one of FIVE LUCKY WINNERS picked at random who'll be able to choose to receive either:
a. A copy of each of the three winning blooks in the 2007 Lulu Blooker Prize-named 14 May, 2007 (total value to be determined).
Or...
b. A free ISBN for their own Lulu-produced book ($99.95 value).
Hey, it takes less than a minute (unless you think too hard), so go and fill out the survey now.

I just invented these as a joke. Check back in a year to see if anyone's reinvented them and uses them seriously...
MogBlog - Blog kept by a woman about her cats.
HogBlog - Blog kept by a big fat idiot, or Rush Limbaugh
SmogBlog - Blog about environmental pollution
GodBlog - Vomitatiously saccharine christian blog.
ZogBlog - Incomprehensible blog, as though written by someone from the planet Zog.
Skog - Blog about skateboarding, or kept by a skateboarder.
Snog - Like a Skog, but for snowboarding
Logoblog - A very wordy blog
Drog - Blog kept by a heavy drug user.
Golb - Blog written backwards. It's got to mean something
I dislike all weblog-related terms, especially "blog" (the verb) and "blogger".
"Blog" and "blogger" don't bother me, but all the others ("bleader," etc) are pretty ridiculous.
