  • I first saw this today on http://widgetbox.com

    It's a new feature on the site that is a term coined from "blog" and "widget."

  • "blog litter," hence blitter

    I am sure it has already been invented, but I used the term today in my blog at http://gotbuzz.vox.com to talk about "blog debris," or blogs created and then forgotten about, abandoned, left unused, etc. So they populate the blogosphere to no good purpose, taking up space better blogs could occupy instead, IMHO.
