- (Internet) A fake blog, usually reusing content from other sources in order to generate link spam.
- [2010 November 11, Ben Zimmer, “Web”, in The New York Times Magazine[1]:
- The “b” in these words is all that remains from its ancestor, Berners-Lee’s Web, and even that slim vestige can be lost when blog blends with other words, as in vlog (a video blog) and splog (a spam blog).]
