blog storm Last modified: Thursday, March 19, 2009
A slang term that describes the use of blogging to push an event or subject to mainstream news. A blog storm is when the blogosphere collectively writes thousands or more posts about a particular subject, topic or event, and as a result, the story is picked up by mainstream media and carried over to newspapers, television and radio. See "The History of Blogging" in the Quick Reference section of Webopedia.
