A person (usually young) who participates in all or most of the following:
1. Spending large amounts of time posting entries on his/her blog (usually a blogspot or wordpress blog) about things no one other than them cares about.
2. Tries any way possible to get others to read his/her blog.
3. Posts comments on every blog he/she comes across in hopes that other bloggers will find and comment on his/her blog.
4. Uses their blog to advance other areas of his/her life, such as
relationships, positions in work,
social status, or
anything else.
Blogwhores can come in different categories, the most notable of these include:
-
The activist blogwhore, who will post about 20 entries a day revolving around news articles which support his/her political views and/or desperately crying for others to care about his/her favorite political cause.
- The gamer blogwhore, who posts a new entry every time he/she advances in an online game or MMORPG.
- The slutty blogwhore, whose posts are just images of her showing her assets to any willing male.
- The homeschool mom blogwhore, who truly believes others think her kids are as valuable members of society as she does and posts in the mindframe as such.
- The Jesusfreak blogwhore, whose posts are mainly Bible entries or what he/she saw on The 700 Club last night.
- The pop culture blogwhore, whose blog is dedicated to their favorite movies, bands, TV shows, and websites. Usually, this person tries to come across as some all-knowing pop culture guru, even though his/her blog is nothing different from
Entertainment Weekly.
- The emo/scene blogwhore, whose posts are either lyrics to their favorite emo song at the moment,
photoshopped photos of him/her, or rants about how mommy and daddy won't let his/her 16-year old jailbait ass stay out past midnight.
