The media blog Fimoculous has become one of my favorite reads lately.
It's easy-to-read, well-written and keeps all of Rex Sorgatz's webby projects together in one place. Every once in awhile, the comments section lights up with some glittering moments of webby theory and attitude.
Case in point, this post where he discusses his microfame article that was published in New York magazine. A great read, it generated some pithy meditations on the fleeting, self-referential nature of web production.
Our buddy Steve Bryant had this to offer: "Self-aggrandizement in the service of self-deprecation in the service of self-aggrandizement is...meta-propaganda? You're a nesting doll of solipsism, rexy."
And Kurtis added this zinger: "If you become microfamous for talking about microfame, does that make you metamicrofamous? And do you get to be in the next Weezer video?"
Welcome to Dueling Comments, where I print my favorite comments that I've spotted in publishing blogs. There are some smart people lurking in the comments sections of blogs, so I'm scrounging around the Internets to find the crazy, the useful, and the crazy-useful wisdom that they leave behind.
