Blogebrity
Written by Scrivs on May 24, 2005
If you haven’t heard about it already, Blogebrity is a site that has created an A-List, B-List and C-List. Supposedly this is legit and the people behind it are actually trying to setup the lists. How they go about it I don’t know, but I find it quite amusing.
Matthew has pointed out to me that I have been fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to make the C-List (the clist). Now I am in the same company of a couple other hundred people that I haven’t heard of. Wonderful.
A-List
- I speak with Calacanis on occassion so unfortunately he is my “in” for that list.
- I got to stand next to Zeldman at SXSW and saw how much taller I was than him so height wise I can make the A-List.
- I drank and smoked a cigar with Jake Dobkin so that is my drinking partner on the A-List.
- And Anil asks me why I have been switching away from MT on some of my sites so he is my advocate on the A-List.
B-List
- I convinced Doug Bowman to return to the bar with me at SXSW so he is my peer pressure pal on the B-List.
- I emailed Andy Budd twice so he is my British mate B-Lister.
- Mike Davidson annoys the hell out of me everyday on IM so he is my annoy the hell out of me B-List guy.
- Matt Mullenweg is always surrounded by an insane amount of women so he is my B-List pimp.
C-List
9rules owns it.
- D. Keith Robinson
- Scrivs
- Sergio Villarreal
Maybe by the end of the year we can help make every member a clister.

The list is bogus, and not because I’m not on it. Expect my opinion to be written shortly.

Well when I say “legit” I don’t mean internationally ranked officially by the blog society of the universe. But yes, your opinion is being anticipated.

Death to celebrities, death to all these fevered egos.
99.9% of the crap in the blogosphere and I’m pained by the jawbreaking yawn.

Any lists that have a black background with light-coloured lettering obviously do not intend that the members of the lists be all that visible.

I only annoy the hell out of you on IM everyday because it’s more polite than ripping into your articles publicly.

Nothing would make me happier than to someday be a clister. It’s my life-long dream.

Matthew: Wooo, way to aspire to be number 3. Number 1 and 2 are just way too hard. Setting your sights low is a great approach.

If I have a wardrobe malfunction, can I be put on the D-List?

I wonder how they determine who is on what list. It’s pretty obvious it doesn’t nessisarily have anything to do with the quality of content.
I mean, take Scoble for example. He’s a “blogger” in true sense of the word. He’s not a content creator, more like a reporter. This isn’t a knock against him, just an observation.
It seems like quite a bit of people on all of these lists are like that. I’ll stay on the C list thank you. C=Content.

What a stupendous idea of segregating bloggers into three lists. Who cares?
I would like to be on the Z list as in yawn and go to sleep

I think this is hilarious and despite the many many critiques I’ve read of it today – one of the cleverest ways of getting attention to a new blog.
They’ve got the A, B and C list bloggers attention because they are all blogging about whether they should be on it, bragging about being on it, wishing they were higher on it, saying they don’t deserve to be on it….
And they’ve got another million or so bloggers who are NOT on it blogging about how they should be on it, wish they could be on it, telling everyone who they know on it….
whilst the legitimacy of the lists will be debated forever (and I dont think much of them because I didn’t make it and Scrivs did
) – I think its genius – what a buzz they’ve created.
I’ll be interested to see whether they can make the most of the buzz they’ve created and make the blog (with the traffic and PR they’re building) into something worth while.

Darren: It’s been done before.

My Preference would be the plist.

Britt: Nice.

True Colin – its been done in many forms in many places. However this time it’s getting some pretty big attention. They just got slashdotted which takes it to another level.
I say good luck to them.

*Jawn*
So do A-listers get VIP access to all the hot clubs in the world? I mean, do you you get a card you can flash at the bouncers, or do you have to pull the “do you know who I am?” trick?
Crazy

One day… x_x;
I should make an X-List, and throw myself up there.
