Who established the term "weblog" as the standard term for that kind of website? The term "weblog" had to be the expected name for the phenomenon before the domain name weblogs.com would have much value. Does anyone own the domain name onlinediary.com or linkcommentary.com or some other possible descriptive name for what we call a weblog?

I think Jorn Barger coined the term "weblog", it entered widespread usage quickly, and Dave Winer registered weblogs.com after that.
