The Blog People Are Coming!

Over at the ALA Techsource blog, Michael Stephens (of Tame the Web) takes a look back at a relatively recent online fracas in the ALA (American Library Association) community regarding outdated attitudes towards blogs and blogging.

Here are some terms which we unfortunately seem to be stuck with, or which have yet to be replaced by better options:

• Blog (both noun and verb -- the latter being the more unfortunate).
• Blogosphere
  
• Biblioblogosphere (the blogosphere of the librarians -- sounds like a subtitle of a B movie sci fi epic)
• Web 2.0 - or "Social Computing"
• Library 2.0 - or "Next Gen Libraries & Librarians"

...And so on (add you own!)
