Gossamer: Elitism

Just as I said yesterday, I'd continue browsing through Gossamer.

I'll quote this from one of her articles:

There are many so called "Elite" sites on the web. For the purpose of this rant, I'm referring to the "elite" personal sites. Why exactly are they so popular and "above the rest"? I've been to a few and well, they aren't that good. Some of them are just a blog and that's it, yet links that go to their site say "that's such a cool blog, you have to read it!". But what is a "cool blog"? Isn't a blog an online diary? How can some online diaries be better or "cooler" than others? What, are we now judged on how interesting our lives are?

I'm not trying to send a message to anyone in particular here. I only quoted it because of such verity that lies within it. I only know one friend who owns an elite site and Gossamer's description of "elite" sites are totally contrary to hers. She updates often enough and she definitely does not get bitchy with her ramblings, etc. In fact, I think I'm the one who's turing bitchy. Have you seen my last post about art yesterday? No, don't read it anymore if you haven't. Just don't.

Ofcourse I'm not turing elite, my site hardly gets any visitors for goodness' sake. I definitely haven't submitted my site into any elite cliques, just as I plan never to submit my site in any review site. Sorry if I'm starting to grow horns, it just pissed me off. Sorry.
