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.
