Blogstitution - The Meaning Of

Well, I thought it was my word but a quick google search proved otherwise. Such is life.

However, for the benefit of those who are in doubt, here is my definition of the word that I'm rather fond of. I'm more fond of String Hoppers than blogstitution but less fond of Wattalapam, that should give you an idea of my positioning:

Blogstitution - To use "cheap" tactics in order to gain readership and/or hits for a blog. The tactics can range from talking about sex or sexually related subjects to trying to antagonise well known and popular bloggers in order to stir up a storm. I suppose, as a chap does suppose, blogstitution is using negative means to garner popularity. And, as an aside, I'm not sure what the word "garner" really means, so apologies if I've used it inappropriately. I'm hardly an authority on words and definitions anyway.

That clears that one up I think.

Be sure to check LLD tomorrow where I'll reveal some juicy insider gossip about Dinidu, Gyppo and TMS.

I think (too lazy to get on dictionary.com) 'Garner' means to 'attract' or 'gain'. It's a very American word -- the definition must have originated from the US.

Thanks for enlightening us all :)

Gyppo - Ok, I understand. But, can I tell them about Dinidu and the salami though?

Gypsy said...

Of course. You can't NOT tell them about Dinidu and the salami. It's just too good. In fact, I demand a post about it tomorrow.

Dinidu said...

Salami is fine. But don't even mention the whole sheep thing. That would be oh-so-embarrassing!

Rhythmic Diaspora said...

Din - Of course, you can rely on me to be the sole of discretion. Besides, it was dark, the sheep was cute from that angle, I'm sure many people would have made the same mistake under the circumstnaces.

Dinidu said...

I'm glad you understand. :P
