The Blogosphere and Geography

Being a relatively new social phenomenon, little scholarly research has been done with specific regards the blogosphere, especially by geographers.

Much of current available literature on the blogosphere however, though predominantly written with the use of communications and sociological perspectives, has largely integrated geographical concepts.

But although geographical concepts have been used largely in much of the literature surrounding the blogosphere, little has been written in specific geographical perspective.



This may be due to erroneous perception that research on the blogosphere belong to the disciplines of information communications and computing technology.

The blogosphere however can be approached geographically as a spatial entity, and its spatial dimension consequently explored in relation with notions of power and identity.
