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.

    Dear god, I thought "blogosphere" was self-important.

    But hey! This opens up all kinds of future blog-related positions. Watch for these coming Slashdot stories!

    OMG! BTW Did you hear that Nick and Jessica filed for divorce?

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

    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.
