I’m sure we can do better!
- TUMBLELOG /tʊmbl̩lɔɡ/
Pros: Mainstream usage
Cons: Phonetically awkward /l̩l/, tends to collapse to tumblog
- TUMBLOG /tʊmblɔɡ/ (TUMBleLOG)
Pros: Solves /l̩l/ problem
Cons: Prescriptivists will insist this is a bastardized form of “tumblelog” which must be shunned (shunned, they say!)
- SHLOG /ʃlɔɡ/ (SHort form weBLOG)
Pros: Concise, somewhat descriptive
Cons: Someone already decided it refers to “slogging through shit”
- SHFLOG /ʃflɔɡ/ (SHort Form weBLOG)
Pros: Slightly more descriptive than ‘shlog’
Cons: Illegal English consonant cluster, punishment associations
- SCRAPLOG /skræplɔɡ/
Pros: Seems descriptive — scraps of the internet
Cons: Contains “crap”…but actually, descriptive of most tumblelogs, including this one
- MMMBLOG /mːblɔɡ/ (Mixed Media Micro weBLOG)
Pros: Perfectly descriptive, valid English consonant cluster, implies deliciousness: inherently awesome!
Cons: Almost a Hanson song…automatic failure :-(
Clearly I’ve got nothing. Any other ideas?
