blogosphere

blogosphere


   The totality of all {blog}s. A culture heavily overlapping with but
   not coincident with hackerdom; a few of its key coinages
   ({blogrolling}, {fisking}, {anti-idiotarianism}) are recorded in this
   lexicon for flavor. Bloggers often divide themselves into warbloggers
   and techbloggers. The techbloggers write about technology and
   technology policy, while the warbloggers are more politically focused
   and tend to be preoccupied with U.S. and world response to the
   post-9/11 war against terrorism. The overlap with hackerdom is
   heaviest among the techbloggers, but several of the most prominent
   warbloggers are also hackers. Bloggers in general tend to be aware of
   and sympathetic to the hacker culture.
