It may be time to buy a new dictionary. The New Oxford Dictionary of English, which sits on my desk, next to my phone, boasts that it's "the world's most trusted dictionary". But I looked in vain there for entries featuring either "blog" or "blogospehere". No surprise, really. My dictionary is a 1997 publication, so it predates the coining of those terms. to the rescue: "The term blogosphere was coined on September 10, 1999 by Brad L. Graham, as a joke." And with this new blog, I pitch my tent in (the?) blogosphere. Better late than never, eh?
