on #MayTenth2022, when I Got Links from @Bing @MSNnews @espressocom - #BlogsTheWayBlogsWereWhenBloggersStartedBlogging | @wikipedia
Because blogs started as 'lists of links to pages the writer found recently' by people who called themselves Escribitionists (sometimes ... or was that "how email started"? or both? or neither?)
The 'etymology' below is just keeping with my theme (because that's why I started blogging---to show that all words are linguistically built upon earlier foundational words); then--below the subscribe bar--I'll list 'the many links I wanted to blog today.'
#Exhibition is part of the word 'Escribitionist' (which I think describes 'what I'm doing.' I link to 'my post on that word' below, and I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)
The word “Exhibition” is built on ancient words that mean Out + "to Hold, Give or Receive" ('the filter I choose' doesn't display any search-results for #Exhibitionist or #Exhibitionism #Exhibitionists #Exhibitionistic etc.---Etymonline mentions a "psychosexual sense" of the word, and I imagine that's the sense that's popular on the Internet & -that no one needs to see from me).
#Exhibit #Exhibited #Exhibiting #Exhibitor
Sort of 'as Lord Jesus prophesied,' ... something about 'the cart before the horse'? 'harvest too plentiful for the harvester to gather it all at once'? 'the gleaner out-cropping the cropper'? It'll come back to me; first, the latest links in the web's 'tirade' of content flowing into my senses:
The 'tirades' (below the quote from St. James) are coming from a few sources:
- my media-diet (mostly TV, if you don't count ...
- Videos I Watched & Want to Share - some of which I'll take off that list when I link to them from words they inspire me to study, along with words I'm inspired-to-study by ...
- my Microsoft Edge default homepage - gives me links to a few interesting games & tools & news-stories, a lot like ...
- my Microsoft Start news-feed - a page often linked-to in news-alerts in my 'Microsoft Start' (or is that 'Cortana'?) toolbar, which I learned about as I used ...
- my Microsoft Rewards (a.k.a. Bing Rewards) Dashboard - a page that Microsoft Rewards gives its members everyday to help us earn more points with the computing/communicating empire
- Swagbucks' browser-button finds you all the opportunities for discounts & bargains etc. in your usual shopping (I'm a Millennial/X-ennial, but my injury makes me too clumsy to handle portable technology at my income-level ... I can only do my shopping in brick-&-mortar businesses; but they can still send me money for mentioning them, yeah?)
- money from 'The Forum that Pays' (that's not 'its name,' but it's the main reason I write there (a little bit)) is paid by sponsors that are often interesting whether they pay for it or not!
