Slashdot Mirror
The World of Blogebrities
Jeremy writes "The folks at Blogebrity have a unique take on the blog scene. Drawing a parallel to the glitz and glam of Hollywood stars, they've divided some of the better-known bloggers into A-, B-, and C-lists. Slashdot favorite Wil Wheaton is featured on the A-list, while some lesser-known bloggers such as Bruce Sterling made it to the B-list, and most of the non-geeks like comedian Margaret Cho can't seem to break out of the C-list. What does the slashdot crowd think of their choices?"
Crimony. Another few years of the word-hackery that brought us "blogebrities", and we're all gonna sound like some freakish variant of the Smurfs.

There's the Stanford transhumanist society one. Can't think of any other good ones.
Transcend Humanity. Please.
I wish I had the last 30 seconds of my life back.
Mailing Wil a "get better" card - $3.
Buying him weird medications over the Internet - $99.
Trying to slashdot his server - Priceless.
Money for nothing, pix for free
I looked under N, but I saw no Neal, Cowboy. This list is a fake.
But hey! This opens up all kinds of future blog-related positions. Watch for these coming Slashdot stories!
Carousel is a lie!
I have Wilwheaton.net in my browser history and cached on my drive. Never has their been a better reason to rub magnets on my hard drive than now.

As sad as it sounds I must admit, I actually searched news.google.com for "Nick and Jessica" upon reading this.

Great, not only do I have so little free time now because I have to keep up with my life along with all the lives of fabulous celebrities, now I have to keep up with blogebrities.
I hope they make the B! Bloggertainment channel so I can get all my blogebrity news. I just have to know which blogebrities are "linking," if you know what I mean.

I for one welcome our blogrebrity overlords!!
I hope their site is slashdotted so they have no chance of winning that stupid contest...
who designed that site? a 12 year old girl with a lisa frank infatuation?
what are they trying to market? all I could gather from their site is that they have no lives... at least magazines like us, people, etc. get paid lots of money to rank celebrities...
Oh boy, yet another outlet for already-celebrities to get noticed. Boy oh boy, because, you know, not enough people know that Margret Cho is a fat, bitter lesbian asian-american with, you know, problems. And her take on things is really cool. Like that time when she saw that one homosexual and called him a silly fag, and then ended up eating a ham (or a tofu ham, sorry, I should probably read her blog to find out if she's vegan or not), while flashing back over how she was discriminated growing up. Okay, seriously, a lot of these people are pretty cool and say things that aren't outright lies. But does the world really need another portal? Why does Andy Baio merit an "A" while "THE" Isabella Wunder only get a "C"? Because some goon somewhere says so? It's like reducing the art of movie criticism to Beavis and Butthead. "Citizen Kane - 6T's! Awesome!" "Casablanca - B6(j7)! It's neat!" "Spellbound - 23.3! I didn't get that one scene!" Except without even the comments. With "indie" being all the trend, you'd figure (well, if human thought / capacity for getting stuff off the ground was anywhere near ideal) that there'd be a few more "indie" websites. Remember mp3.com? Now THAT was what the internet should be all about. Evidently we'd rather just know what everyone else is reading, and want it from more than just google and Alexa.
I don't even want to KNOW what list Roland Piquepaille is on.....

Yes Those Are Very Racy Topics I Was Attending A Meeting Of "Local Bitties" And In Between Our Sand-Shovelling-In-Twat Session To Protect Us From The Horrors Of Lubrication Ethel Said "I Saw Some Fat Chink Gook On The Tv And She Said Something About Men Who Dress In Women's Clothing!" And Then We All Cried "Scandalous!! My Word!!" In Unison And Began Knitting Up A Frenzy. She Is Very Unpopular In Our Community And Subjects Like Those Are Too New-Fangled For This Day And Age. Nobody Will Understand Them And What Will The Children Think And We Don't Need More Than 384K RAM Who Would Ever Want More Than That Think Conservatively People And God Bless.
What I find hilarious is how this thread is stuffed to the gills with people who rushed a post on Slashdot to tell the world that people with blogs are pathetic for thinking their opinions are important enough to publish on the web.
What are you talking about? I set my threshold to 5, and it's like sitting at a table with the philosopher kings here.
(Sorry, not a flame, just friendly jab. Sirs.)
I read Slashdot for the articles.
That one is at least semi-interesting, but it's also about being sick as a kid and, golly, the current scratchiness in his throat.
Does he discuss any other topics? Perhaps how the laundry is piling up? Or how he got stuck in traffic during rush hour?
The most rabid believers in American Exceptionalism are the exact same people whose policies are destroying it.

Had I not already posted in this thread, I would mod that comment up as "funny."
Not because it was all that hilarious or anything... I just think it would be nice if he could read his own posts once in a while.
Information wants to be anthropomorphized.
I didn't hold a gun to the editors' heads, you know.
Wouldn't be any point. You need to target a vital organ.
