"Blogject" is a neologism that's meant to focus attention on the participation of "objects" and "things" in the sphere of networked social discourse variously called the blogosphere, or social web. They participate in exchange of ideas and circulate conversations.

Some characteristics:

Why does this matter? This is because it brings about cohabitation, knitting together the two very complex functions of space and place. It also brings along co-participation, we must be able to distinguish ourselves a companion species with something to say, and managing and maintaining the world in which we live in today.
