Blogebrity is ghey
Blogebrity. What we’ve got here, my friends, is the case of a true tryhard. And what’s it trying to be? Well, cool, of course. Cool by virtue of association. Cool by virtue of listing popular bloggers. But cool in the truly, truly tryhard sense, which is, of course, when one’s only goal is to be cool.
Blogebrity is pretty much what Nicole Ritchie would be if she were a website.
These wannabes at Blogebrity have got it all wrong, of course. After a fake news push in the vein of “greenlighting” that about 53 people noticed, the site’s been riding the wave of everything that’s wrong with the blogosphere: the echochamber effect; incestuous blockquoting; and basically a bunch of ugly, Internet-addicted thirtysomethings writing about each other. (You basically get drivel like this.) Mmm, the savory ingredients of the list.
If I ever make that list, DDoS me, stat.
p.s. hahahah pwnt.

Hey, don’t link to my drivel and then associate me with blogebrity.com!
I’m not listed, my friend!
I’m a Z-List blogger, don’t you know?? :)

Sorry about that. No guilt by association.
BTW, for those who didn’t go to Ben’s site, he called a speech of Mena Trott’s (founder of Six Apart [that's Movable Type and TypePad]) “bullshit” on a huge screen. This was at a conference, whiillllllle she was giving the speech. Actually, that’s hilarious, now that I think about it a sec.
Oh, and the speech was telling everyone to be more civil!
Hilarious!!!
p.s. I’ve had it out with those Six Apart guys before.

Typically, you denote single characters with quotes. For instance, I might say, “the ‘t’ in ‘Ritchie’ is silent.” But maybe that was filtered out of the comment form, because you seem like a sharp fella.
