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.
