blogosphere
Interesting that after all these years of blogging, I only find out now that the term Blogosphere refers not to a collective of people blogging, but the subset of people who blog about blogging, it's technologies, it's trends, etc.

I come to this understanding during my reading of the latest drama between Mena Trott (a person behind MT, the software used to do my blog) and Ben Metcalfe (someone I never heard of), a drama about being nice on blogs and in comments. I have been part of this debate in the past and I have changed sides. I used to be part of the "be nice" crowd but really, only being nice means your blog is relatively benign and most often boring... mine for example. Occasional blunders in communication make for good posts; thus this whole thread and my post. (pointed to by razorshine, by way of HorsePigCow)
