Definition:
The totality of blogs, especially the unique jargons, cultures and shared interests created by their interconnection.
(from Wiktionary)
“Blogosphere” refers to a cultural Internet phenomenon. The increased interactivity of the World Wide Web has brought about a method of publishing that is enabling some Internet idiots to post about the bowel movements of their cats, all the while distracting the rest of the observing world from excellent content that is being published elsewhere. The promulgation of the term “blogosphere” is letting these unfortunate minds of our time think that we care.
Amen. It’s about time this one goes down the tubes.
Well, seems I’m part of it, but I want to see it go down just because the word is so damn ugly.
I feel like the biggest moron when using this term… to the point that I end up saying “amongst bloggers” instead.
I don’t even like blog very much, but it’s acceptable. Blogosphere is just awful.
[...] I thought the word “blogosphere” deserved to be condemned, so I through the idea over to Bryan. He agreed. Do you? // Used for showing and hiding user information in the comment form function ShowUtils() { document.getElementById(“authorinfo”).style.display = “”; document.getElementById(“showinfo”).style.display = “none”; document.getElementById(“hideinfo”).style.display = “”; } function HideUtils() { document.getElementById(“authorinfo”).style.display = “none”; document.getElementById(“showinfo”).style.display = “”; document.getElementById(“hideinfo”).style.display = “none”; } [...]
I hate this word with a passion.
Ow. My sensibilities. Burn.
reminiscent of bad sci-fi or fantasy
“Blogosphere” implies that we all get along… it’s not realistic. We fight and argue, and agree to disagree… we are just as coarse as in the physical world.
Still, the worst part about buzzwords like these is they are so hard to avoid using… sometimes I use it anyway, just because it sounds so dumb :)
Burn it. Burn them all.
“Weblog” and all of its derivates make me sick to my stomach and should suffer a very horrible death.
Yeah. I don’t like the word Blob period. Adding sphere to it…..is just……ugh. Wait….its Blog you say? Oh. Well not much difference.
*CONDEMNS BLOGOSPHERE TO THE PITS OF BUZZWORD HELL….sizzle*
[...] Might I really look forward to “blogging”? A “term” I describe… offensively. [...]
…yeah… “blogosphere” can shuffle right off this mortal coil.
I made this sound at a barbeque after drinking a few too many beers. It sounded just as bad coming out of my mouth as it looks. Send this to the fiery pits of hell or at the very least make it work on daikatana 3.
Bloggosphere is a form of hell. girls used to get pissy if anybody came close to a diary. what the hell is going on? publish yourself to strangers.
Blogosphiere, hogosphere, eggnogosphere. Whoever’s coming up with these phrases needs to join there new phrases in Devilstown.
The only thing worse would be something like Blogination or Blogiverse
blog is a stupid term to say heres my story or crapy life, but blogosphere should be imediatedly sent to hell its way worse……….
Blog from Web Log which became weblog “osphere” is a third grader’s attempt at sounding highly educated. Why must we call it a blog or blogging? it is just a glorified BBS like we used to share intersts and comments on in the early 1980′s, nothing new here but the addition of pictures.
stop re-inventing the wheel
If Mark Twain had a blog, it would be different.
If Einstein had a blog, it would be interesting to read his stream of consciousness.
When Larry, Curley and Moe blog, there’s too much attachment to empty opinions and not enough research.
Is it the word or how blogs are used?
This is truly a terrible word.
An annoying term, but accurate in how it brings up an image of an area in the upper atmopshere where things that are overinflated with hot air eventually burst into nothingness.
They’ve all pretty much said it, but I’m submitting my two cents just to increase the hatred of the word statistically. The word “blogosphere” is only useful to show how little the person who says it knows about the internet. No one who knows what they’re talking about uses it. Terrible.
@19: Actually, BBS’ were more useful and fostered communication much more than blogs ever will.
I had taken to calling the blogo-whatever the “blogamid” due to its pyramid scheme hierarchy type nature… nothing spherical about it.
So I must agree, condemned.
[...] (em buzzword hell). [...]
This is almost as evil as “webinar”.
Kill this. Now.
