We were watching the 6:30 Evening News with Peter Jennings (who I don't think was actually present) Thursday night and they featured bloggers as the people of the year. They featured the big, well-known names (I don't plan on linking to them so won't name names) but also featured a young blogger that is 11 years old. Well, that was cool.
But, I had to laugh when the reporter said ". . . in what is now called the blogosphere."
That sounded to me as if they thought that "Blogosphere" was a new word. I have a news flash for you people, it's been called the blogospere for longer than I have been reading blogs (about 3 years), much less blogging.
I'm guessing the next revelation will be the "new" word for 2005 - Blogoversary - heh.
That is funny. Over a year ago I was reding articles about the "explosion in blogging" in national mags, and at that time they were talking about the "Blogosphere" being an amost outdated term. Things like the "Blog(er)(ing) Universe" were being tossed around as the new catch phrase.
"Immediate access journalism"--2 years too late.
