Weborials

Every time I read through one of these articles I've written in the last few weeks some glaring mistake jumps up and bites me. No editor. A general problem on the web. Someone should start an editorial society for weborialists. I know there's no word like that, but after going through a thesaurus for synonyms for article, weborial was the best I could come up with.

Here are some of those synonyms for article:

beat, blurb, column, commentary, composition, discourse, editorial, essay, exposition, feature, item, paper, piece, scoop, spread, story, theme, think piece, treatise, write-up

- Hey mac, I cover the Photo beat for the Daily Gotham. Whaddya do?

- I write weborials for the Gotham Blogger.

- Huh?

- Yeah. I'm a weborialist. One of the first ones. You should try it.

- Yeah? Well what the hell is a weborialist?

- You write articles, reviews, opinions - but you work on the web so they call it weborials. It's great 'cause no one checks your spelling or anything.

- You're kiddin' me.

- Nope.

- Weborialist, huh? Maybe I'll give it a try.

- Definitely. The competing word right now is itorial - but it's hard to say.
