blogosphere The totality of all blogs. 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.
