Blogosphere (alternate: blogsphere) is the web log environment.
The totality of all blogs. A culture heavily overlapping with but not coincident with hackerdom. 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. (From the Jargon file)
The term was 10, 1999/ coined on September 10, 1999 by Brad L. Graham, as a joke.
It was re-coined in 2001 by William Quick and quickly adopted and promulgated by the warbloggers.
