An A-list of A-listers

That blogger a-list mentality is always present and has risen again with an attempt to create an A-list of A listers by the Open Media 100. The tag your nominations method of the contest demonstrates the dificulties of tagging, as Zeldman describes so well in his critical post on tag clouds. No doubt other a-lists or b-lists will appear, as one blogger noted, “whatever happened to ending hierarchies and popularity contests and how folksonomy/tagging will break it all down and ‘celebrate the long tail’ and yadda yadda yadda.” Speaking of the long tail, see the book blog covering that topic.
