And tech culture keeps chugging along...now bloggers have a reality-show type competition ("Ultimate Blogger")in which they are given different "challenges" and get judged on who has the best blog entry in response to the challenge. O. my. god.
Marisa Meltzer (formerly of Bitch Magazine) has a funny piece on this perhaps inevitable incarnation of blogging - here's an excerpt that made me laugh:
"The finalists' blog entries in response to each challenge force both the judges and the audience to address the larger question of what constitutes good internet content. Is the rather dadaist video Ritchey posted of a snail crawling juxtaposed with her eating cereal better than Lyova's Nabokovesque paean to lost love?"
"Voted Off the Internet"
