#REDIRECT [[Julian Bleecker]]
'''Blogject''' is a [[neologism]] coined by Julian Bleecker for an object that gathers metadata about it's interaction with people, other objects, or its environment. Just as people can [[blog]] about their interactions in the world, blogjects similarly gather and communicate this information as well. The term was first used publicly by [[Bruce Sterling]] during a keynote speech at the O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference 2006 in San Diego, California. Bleeker's use of the term is closely related to Sterling's own neologism [[spime]].
It is possible the word is an evolution of the term [[Blobject]] used by Bruce Sterling during his SIGGRAPH 2006 speech in Los Angeles, California.
