Blogging is just short for web logging, which is really just a personal online journal someone keeps. In short, a place for you to cram things that people can read, but where it won't be shoved in someone else's face.

The term 'blog' is rather unfortunate, because it sounds like something you'd call a toilet, but now that it's somehow more understood what it means than a web log or journal than those terms specifically, it's best to identify something as that. I keep one for myself, mostly so I have a place to whine and post things I make.

Vlog is something I refuse to acknowledge. Just ain't right.

Slog I would approve of if all people doing it were given large slug tattoos on their backs.

Also, for buzzwords that will really affect your work in a negative way, see: XML, AJAX, Enterprise, Framework, and so on. Some people will disagree with XML being useless, but I would kindly ask you all to jump off a bridge and spare me your love of bloated formats.
