Replacing "Blogosphere."
Leopold Stotch thinks we should replace it with something a bit less lame, and is taking suggestions. I agree that it doesn't get dorkier than blogosphere, but no one at Outside the Beltway seems to be doing any better. Go have a shot at it, though: there's got to be something we can call this community/phenomenon that doesn't make us sound nerdier than we already are.

Well, I guess that would only cover the evil right-wing blogs.
Back to the drawing board.....

Nonsense. Blogosphere is analogous is noosphere, the realm of consciousness. If that was good enought for Teilhard de Chardin, blogosphere should be good enough for us.

What? Now? When the word has finally begun to seep into the general public's lexicon, we want to change it?
I don't think it's so lame anyway.

Try saying it over dinner with an old friend who kind-of sort-of knows you do this online journal thingie, but would be scandalized to find out how much time you spend on it.
Out loud, it just sounds different. I feel like I'm talking about my friends and our secret clubhouse and our special handshake, and the flag we made out of an old handkerchief, and the secret codebook with all our special words in it.
Of course, I'm the sensitive type.

I like to think that our standards should be a little higher than those of a nansy-pansy like Teilhard de Chardin, don't you, Dave?
