From Boing Boing comes Loic Le Meur's post on the official French word for blog: bloc-notes, or bloc for short. I am not sure how useful creating different words for already-established terms is for the preservation of the French language, though. For example, I doubt that Le Monde will change the name of its Blogs section. I could only find two sites (here and here) which used the term "bloc-notes."
More interesting (in my opinion), are the other computer science terms defined in the document. This one is my favorite:
virus, n.m.
…
Équivalent étranger : virus.
