As it turns out, it looks like at least three others have already coined the term independently, to me a positive sign that it has a certain natural ring to it. What does it mean? A shorthand for “blogosphere and traditional media” that reflects the increasingly blurry lines between them, and the symbiotic echo chamber than has grown to encompass both.
Whiners who detest the words blog and blogosphere will hate this one even more. I personally like it (enough to place a small, good-natured wager). Who wants to write the Wikipedia entry?
