Hello, blog.
Did you miss me while I was gone? I missed you. I was busy, though, attending a conference and blogging all about it over there.
While I was away, someone tried to usurp my position as the blogger who coined the term "blogomediasphere". The guy at Oddhead thought he coined the term when he wrote, some 13-plus months after my original reference to the term:
C’mon: no matter how closely Apple guarded the iPhone’s specs, no matter how persuasive Jobs’s rhetoric, no matter how surprised industry watchers were at the blogomediasphere’s glowing reception of the gadget, Jobs’s speech could not possibly have revealed over $8 billion in previously undisclosed information.But he was wrong, and fessed up in a later post. But he also suggested that two interlopers may have a rightful claim to originating the term. They do not. I was first. They all stole the term from me.
Let the record show that I am the rightful coiner of the term blogomediasphere.
