I was interested to find out that Kottke still gets excited about being mentioned in Time Magazine. Not saying that being mentioned in Time Magazine isn't anything special but we're talking about quite possibly one of the top 10 bloggers on the planet. Speaking of top 10 bloggers... You know that blogging is in trouble when the words blogwatch, blogebrity, blogosphere and blogger all appear in a single paragraph of a mainstream magazine. Add the terms a-list, in crowd, stars, hip factor and TV show and I just don't feel like being part of this anymore... Just imagine, Scoble bearing it all on Oprah, Celebrity Blogger Big Brother where we watch a bunch of people sit at their computers all day secluded from the outside world (not much change there then), or even E! Entertainment's Behind the Blogging where we take an in-depth look at the trials of becoming a famous blogger, "a small town boy - his life was turned upside down when he was linked on Slashdot..."
