blog whoring

my dear fellow bloggers (and readers), have you heard of this phrase before? blog whoring. well, i came across it first time yesterday when someone at a discussion group used it on me.

what do you think it means? i know what it means if i look at the context of how i get the name, but i’m asking you, let’s say someone said you are ‘blog whoring’, what do you think that person means?

actually depends on how you look at it, or rather i mean how people used it on you, it can means something positive or negative (but i know very well in my case, it was negative). if you do a search for ‘blog whoring’, you’ll be surprise to see quite a no. of hits… all explain blog whoring as something good. one of the definition of a ‘blog whore’ is:

wannabe blog diva. one who inveigle other bloggers to link to their blogs. blogger that succumbs usually referred to as a blog john (thus the blogroll)

this comes from an interesting site call ‘blogicon’(a combination of blog and icon). there are lots of interesting terms there.

though i know when that someone used the term ‘blog whoring’ on me, s/he means it in a negative way, i don’t give a damn. it’s just one person’s opinion… who cares.
