There's also a bit of elitism that comes from online journalists over webloggers in general.
I myself have fallen into that trap: I get quite prickly when my actual online journal is called a blog. My LJ is a blog -- usually quick snippets intended for quick communication, most often, of the random, whereas the online journal is more thoughtful. I use Greymatter to power the journal, but had to spend some time re-configuring it to post more in a journal format than a blog format.
I also get very amused when I see articles online touting blogging as a "new phenomenon" with a spin in the article indicating that journalling online is new itself. The first online journals started popping up way back 1995, perhaps as early as 1994, it's just that the publishing tools have finally caught up with the fact of writing in an updateable fashion IMHO.
