Whitney Pastorek's Blogging Caste System

"In order of fabulosity..."

  • Bloggers who live in Williamsburg and work at Condé Nast/ are in a band
  • Bloggers who live in Williamsburg and know someone who works at Condé Nast/date someone in a band
  • Bloggers who live elsewhere in Brooklyn but can get to Williamsburg easily, ideally by bicycle
  • Bloggers in general (residents of other parts of the country are fine, so long as those parts are Chicago, L.A., Seattle, or Manhattan)
  • Non-bloggers who work at Condé Nast/are in a band
  • Non-bloggers who went to high school with someone who runs a top-tier blog
  • Non-bloggers who live in Queens and operate barely solvent literary magazines, the literary magazine being, as we all know, the blog of 2000, the old black, so over, etc.

    Viv/Laura -- you should make a LJ caste system. Goths would be at the top, no?

    The article would've been better if it mentioned my blog.

    Trying to be a blogstar is a losing battle. Besides, bloggers always cannibalize each other's blogs anyway.

    We need to add a Top Ten blogger's stomping grounds:

    1. The Smoking Gun
    2. Page Six

    What else?

    So is this ascending or descending? Who is the most fabulous? Because I am a blogger and I know someone who works at Condé Nast. How pathetic am I?
