Meanings

1. (Internet, slang, uncountable) Excessive, compulsive, or stream-of-consciousness blogging, especially over trivial matters.
   • Most blogs fail because beginning bloggers don't understand that it's difficult to come up with new content day in and day out. Sure, it's easy enough to post a "Didn't do anything today" lament or a "Don't feel like writing today" sigh. But post too much of this content-free blogorrhea—or, sin of sins in the blogging community, don't post at all for long periods—and your blog is as good as dead. 2004, Paul McFedries, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Creating a Web Page & Blog, Alpha Books, →ISBN, page 237:
   • It’s a surprisingly robust masthead, considering that the entire operation produces about 1,500 words a day—barely a peep in the days of unrelieved blogorrhea and Web-wide word bloat. 2006 May 1, Michael Idov, “How Sweet Is It?”, in New York:
   • Not every blogger writes confessional kiss-and-tell posts or records the dinner menu—the blogosphere is not all blogorrhea and mystery meat. 2009, Dennis Baron, A Better Pencil: Readers, Writers, and the Digital Revolution, Oxford University Press, →ISBN, page 166:
