Blogebrity Apartheid Sounds Death Knell of Blogoland

If you did not know it already, the blogosphere has now got its A, B and C list bloggers. According to John Dvorak, for some people this portends the end of blogging as we knew it.

He then goes on to state that the end will be nigh when a blogging song is penned and goes to number 1 on hit parades. I agree.

Meanwhile, behind the scenes now, the scramble is really on. Competition just got dirtier and tougher. You can imagine the B and C listers mission is now to ascend to the dizzy heights of the A list.

Like footie wives who either follow or try to outdo each other (why do they buy the same style sunglasses and jeans and as for those belts…?), the ultimate is to be up there to do press and media and be seen or have a significantly high number of site vistors read your blinged out site that consists of blogging’s equivalent of latest designer fashionwear accessories.

The lists are a shame because it introduces an “ism” into what was once a free and equal realm.

You are now effectively a nobody unless you are listed. And the higher the grade bestowed on you by whomever creates the rules, the more you will be visited and linked to. So in effect the arseholes who created Blogebrity now practice blogger APARTHEID. Us and them.

Nice one! Not.
