Average Jane on Blogging

Last week, at least four bloggers I follow celebrated their one-year blogging anniversaries:

• Toby Bloomberg of Diva Marketing
• Tom Guarriello of The TrueTalk Blog
• Stacie Penney of Raspberry Latte
• Charlie O’Shields of Always Curious

Congratulations to all of you for staying the course!  A solid year of regular blogging is a big milestone.

Also in the blog world last week, we learned that a new online blogging magazine called Blogebrity will soon make its debut.  Judging by its conceit of A-, B- and C-list blogger categorization, it sounds like the world’s most exclusive (and arbitrary) blogroll.  I imagine there will be some lively discussion about it at BlogHer.

The Blogebrity blog’s first poll asks, "Has blogging jumped the shark?"  Obviously, they’re banking on the answer being "no," but it makes me wonder why there’s so much talk about blogging being "over" already.  As I’m sure Toby, Tom, Stacie and Charlie would tell you, it’s just getting started!

Update:  Heh, I’m a sucker.  It turns out Blogebrity is a Contagious Media Showdown entry.  And here I am helping them increase their ranking…
