[A question](http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/technology/shanerichmond/sept07/britishblogosphere.htm?ref=onemanandhisblog.com):

> *It’s been an interesting week for the British blogosphere. A week that* 
> *has raised the question of whether there even is such a thing.*

The answer is twofold. The first is that the internet, by its nature, breaks down geographical barriers, which gain less relevance in blogging communities. I consider myself part of a journalistic blogging sphere, not a UK journalistic blogosphere.

The second is that the idea of “a blogosphere” is a blind alley. Everyway you define it, by subject, by links, by geography, you find yourself with multipl, over=lapping and ever-shifting blogspheres. To even talk of \*the \*blogosphere is a lazy shorthand for a much more complex idea.
