The World of Blogebrities

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the welcome-to-the-z-list-baby dept.

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.

    Correct me if I'm wrong - and I'm sure you will - but isn't this site amother entry in the Contagious Media Showdown?

    Does somebody want to do my homework and see if the person who sent this to Slashdot is the same as the domain owner?

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

    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.
