Blogs de Bolivia

Technorati tag:

I've stopped noting all the new Bolivian bloggers. Only a year or so ago there were maybe a half dozen of us. There are now as many as 100 bitacoras (some in Spanish, some in English). Blogs de Bolivia has a running list w/ frequent roundups.

Is the word 'bitacora' the Spanish word for 'blog.'? Nobody in my Spanish class knew, so we used the word 'blog' till we learned better. I may have solved a mystery! Is it true? Is 'bitacora' the Spanish word for 'blog.'?

Bitacora has entered common usage for blog in Spanish, but the actual meaning is described below (in Spanish, as appropriate)

Bitácora

And don't worry Miguel, despite the explosion of weblogs about Bolivia, not many are as insightful or interesting as Ciao!, so I don't think you'll be losing many readers.
