Why can’t you just say “blogs” when referring to blogs?

I dont like the word “blogosphere”. I forget why. Oh ya. cuz its lame and unnecessary. It turns a single sylable perfectly encompassing descriptive word into a 3 sylable attempt to paint a bigger, broader image of lameness.

Reading something on the “blogs” is no different than reading something on the “blogosphere”. You just sound more lame if you use the latter.

quit it.
