In the book Habits of the High-Tech Heart Quentin Schultz defines it as “a non-discerning, vacuous faith in … information.” http://www.ethicsdaily.com/article_detail.cfm?AID=1414
"At present, informationism is considered a form of web-based terrorism, using blogs as a platform to initiate propagandist attacks. This definition, however is that generated by the post-modernist."

Since these definitions only represent postmodern thought, this site aims to represent an analytic informationism, which may be defined as a person or group doing what promotes the interests of that person or group.
