Well, now -- according to Wikipedia, 60A. Blogger, e.g., "NETIZEN (a portmanteau of Internet and citizen) or cybercitizen is a person actively involved in communities. Netizens use the Internet to engage in activities of extended social groups, such as giving and receiving viewpoints, furnishing information, fostering the Internet as an intellectual and a social resource, and making choices for the self-assembled communities. Generally, a netizen can be any user of the worldwide, unstructured forums of the Internet."
