blogject
n.— «“Blogject” is a neologism that’s meant to focus attention on the participation of “objects” and “things” in the sphere of networked social discourse variously called the blogosphere, or social web. The Blogject is a kind of early ancestor to the Spime, Bruce Sterling’s resonant, single-syllable noun for things that are searchable, track their location, usage histories and discourse with the other things around them.» —“A Manifesto for Networked Objects” by Julian Bleecker Techkwondo Feb. 18, 2006.
