I was talking to a woman the other day in the course of my work, discussing a viral online marketing effort. She is a newbie to the online world, but was enthusiastic in sharing her hopes for the project. She suggested it might get attention from the press “and all those (pause) I hesitate to call them (pause) ‘bloggers.'” Apparently in her usual circles, “blogger” is a pejorative term, so she didn’t want to use it.
I assured her that, in fact, bloggers even proudly use the term to describe themselves. She was quite relieved 😉
Interesting culture clash and insight into how bloggers (and the term blogger) are perceived in some non-techie circles.
