bloggle

1. To be overwhelmed by requests to visit and comment upon your many friends blogs.
2. To feel stupefied by consistently reading blogs. Or: To lose touch with reality through over induging in factoids, conspiracy theories and the generally uninformed opinion of blogs.

EG1: I felt bloggled after returning from my ten-year reunion...everyone I saw, told me of their new blog and asked me to not only visit their blogs, but everyone was expecting me to leave them a comment- I felt absolutely bloggled.
EG2: After a day's surfing sites on the illuminati, area 51, skull and bones, Yale and how George Bush really became our president, I felt totally bloggled- I had to go out for air, or read a proper newspaper.
