Clog

A commsphere log, most commonly abbreviated to clog, is usually some kind of topical commsphere feed. Clogs can take many forms, but they are usually run by an individual or individuals with the aim of publishing a unique point of view, be it long-form opinion pieces on sector politics or just pictures of what someone had for breakfast that day. Holovids, music, short status updates, articles, photos, and more are all grouped under the definition of clog.

Though the name began as a colloquial shortening of c-log, there is a commonly held implication that the absolutely enormous amount of personal data flooding the commsphere in the form of all these personal feeds can often amount to some kind of oversaturation or glut. The logo for most clogging software is usually the depiction of some kind of shoe, but nobody knows why this might be.
