Mitch Keeler, Blogebrity is not Blogniscient or Memeorandum.
Mitch Keeler said in his post “World in need of a blogging renaissance“:
I am getting tired of services like Blogniscient.com, Tech Memeorandum, Blogebrity and others that do the same thing. What is the topic point this time around? It goes back to the argument of giving the circular pat on the back to all the “top bloggers” out there today.
I resent that, Mitch. I feature commentary from small-time bloggers whenever I find something interesting. And I welcome tips to underrated bloggers.
Blogebrity is not an aggregator. It’s a site with jokes. It’s human-run, not automated. It’s not an authority. No one has pretended it is.
Furthermore, Blogebrity’s purpose, unlike that of Memeorandum or Blogniscient, is expressly to focus on the top bloggers and treat them as celebrities. It’s fair to criticize topical news systems for systemic bias. To accuse Blogebrity of this is to accuse Entertainment Weekly of “only covering the big stars.” It’s silly and needlessly dismissive.
