Weblog, web log, we blog and blog

The term "weblog" was coined by Jorn Barger on 17 December 1997.

The short form, "blog," was coined by Peter Merholz, who broke the word weblog into the phrase we blog in the sidebar of his blog Peterme.com in April 1999.

The term blog became used as a noun and a verb "to blog," meaning "to edit one's weblog or to post to one's weblog" by a guy called Evan Williams from a company called Pyro Labs.
