Or vertical media. Or specialized publications. Not sexy words you'll say, but closer to what people use in the offline world.

As much as we hate it, I think blog is here to stay (at least for a while), it's very well entrenched in the language (blogging, blogged, blogger, vlog, photolog, etc) well, not to be too much of a dork, but how about latin?
