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.
