accidentals and substantives

Wordherders Meetup

While blogisms like "blogosphere," "social software," "link whore," "technorati," "comment blogging," and the like have become common currency, I've yet to see a term for the frisson that comes from flesh-and-blood encounters with people whom you follow on a regular or sporadic basis through the blogroll and RSS feeds. There really *should* be a word for that.

A few photos of the Herd and friends here.
