This comment is in response to this page having been tagged for speedy deletion. I am the author of the current definition and do not intend this to be advertising for a product. Do the reviewers not agree that Diablog could become a term of significant like 'blog' and that it could potentially be applied to any 2 person computer mediated dialogue, especially if it resulted in some form of publication. I would rather remove the reference to the product than have this potentially important term deleted, and will in the next day or two, try to construct a definition without reference to the product. Meanwhile if anybody else has opinions on this I will take them into account in constructing the new definition.
A Diablog (derived from the terms "Blog" and "Dialog") is a time-logged (diarized) exchange between two people. It is unclear when the term was coined but it is used in the strap-line for promoting the publication "The Ridiculous History of Happy and Grumpy" see: www.happyandgrumpy.co.uk to describe a conversation between two people, using an internet dating site and email, to create a dialog which is later published. It is anticipated by the authors of the book that two way and multi-way blogging will one day become a form of publication similar to single person blogging and that that the term Diablog will come into common use for two person exchanges.
