Blogorrhoea (n.) 


The practice of recording and publishing minute details and observations about one's life—often, but not exclusively, online and at excruciating length—for other people to read and comment on when there is no indication (and indeed, possibly every indication to the contrary) that they are even the slightest bit interested. 

The equivalent verb is ‘to diarrhise’, and many blogs can be characterised as ‘diarrhies’ for this very reason (although not, I hasten to add, the one you are currently reading, which is of course filled with scintillatingly delightful gobbets of philosophy and information that is of deep interest to every member of man-, woman- and indeed small furry creature-kind).
