Which came first?

A few years ago when Friendster was the social network hub of choice, I formed a blog called sensible gibberish. I believe that in 2005, the concept of having a blog was not yet that explosive but already was gaining momentum. Fast forward today, as Friendster is close to extinction, I decided to form a blog with the same name I used in Friendster. However, as I tried to register "sensible gibberish" as the name, it no longer allowed me to do so. Apparently, another blogger already formed one with the same exact name.

I really can't tell if  the word "sensible gibberish" is something common that two blogs can be conceptualized with the same name.As far as I can remember, I was only trying to think of an oxymoron that would be appropriate as a blog name. I also don't remember seeing another blog with the same name till now.

With all the confusion aside, I decided to continue this blog bearing the same name that I used years ago, except that I added "the". It really doesn't make any sense adding it but what the heck. In the world of internet, you'll never really know who came first and what ideas might crop up with all the verbal diarrhea being thrown upon us (and may include this.hehe).
