A page on the interweb, regularly updated by someone who, ostensibly, can find nothing better to do with their time. In the past these were used as a form of diary, where the individual responsible for the blog would bitch about their daily activities. Though often incredibly banal, this could be interesting, in a voyeuristic, and rather unwholesome manner.

This has led to the blogosphere increasingly resembling a gigantic, electric circle jerk.
