“Blogging” and the “Blogosphere” might be new terms for most of you especially those who are new users of the internet. While these terms are not yet included in your dictionary, another term emerged from the blogosphere, it’s the term “lazysphere”.
As you already knew, the term “blog” is the combination of the two terms “web” and “log” or “web log”. And by looking at the phrase you can immediately think of its meaning as “the log in the web” or “the record on what happened in the cyberworld.” And with the increase of the number of the existing blogs in the web, the term “blogosphere” was then used to refer to the community of blogs.
What lazysphere means?
I first heard, I mean, learn about the term lazysphere from the blog “Micro Persuasion” and is defined as the group of bloggers who tend to echo the latest news by adding few ideas into their posts. They call these bloggers as lazy bloggers because instead of writing new and fresh stories, they just visit the techmeme, digg or similar sites and talk about the same news over and over again.
But what made them join the lazysphere?
From the term itself, you can already think why they join the lazysphere. These bloggers are simply tired of creating news by their own. So, they just echo those hot latest news in the blogosphere or just publish their thoughts about that news.
But not all bloggers in the lazysphere are really lazy. They’re just interested to the traffic brought by the techmeme into their blogs as they join the hot talks in the blogosphere. To let you know, everytime my blog is listed at the Techmeme, I always gain thousands of unique hits. The traffic from the Techmeme might not be as huge as that from the digg but the readers from the techmeme really reads your posts and often write a post for their own blog and establish links from their posts to your own post.
So to be one on the lazysphere is not really that bad to practice. It’s what blogosphere is.
