Copyfight blogged recently about the increasing use of a farily new term in the blogosphere, along with a news story illustrating (maybe?) just what 'blogswarming' is, why it's important, and how it's changing the weight and credence afforded blogs as news-source.

The post itself is an interesting read - discussing how one Kentucky Republican politician was trying to "block access to to a blog critical of the establishment."
But the truly great thing is (in a shining example of just why blogs are making their mark in both media and culture), a few bloggers weighing in on the topic in the 'comments' section of the post disagree about what the term means and hash it out....
Leaving the definition to evolve naturally, or until someone takes a step forward to point out that they were the first blogger to use the term, etc. etc. - as is the natural order of things in the blogosphere.

Check out "Is 'Blogswarming' a New Journalism?" over at Copyfight, and don't miss the comments.

And if you've an opinion on the meaning of the new term, or just who coined it first, let us know!
