Forbes Names Top Web Stars

Forbes has named the top 25 web stars. Although I do disagree with Number One, it is a pretty comprehensive list. There top five are:

  1. Lonely Girl
  2. Perez Hilton (who drives me nuts with the white doodling on celebrity’s pics.)
  3. Kos
  4. Drudge
  5. Seth Godin

Jeff Jarvis comes in at six with Instapundit’s Glenn Reynolds taking the seventh spot. One thing I will say. Jarvis does respond to people on his comments (he did me once which I appreciated although we respectfully disagreed with each other although I did get a little hot. Sorry Jarvis.) Reynolds doesn’t on his blog which I think he should. John H. told me last time I saw him that people can do what they want to on their blogs which was food for thought and so Reynolds has that right I guess.

The most interesting part of the Forbes breakdown is the those guys who didn’t quite make it and then those folks who were “unintentionally” made into web stars. (Tron man, anyone.)

It’s worth a gander.

    You know, people can do what they want on their blogs. But that doesn’t make it any less damned obnoxious.

    Agreed.
    And I find Reynolds, dare I say it, obnoxious.

    let me say here, that despite what I said..I agree with the other illustrious JH. Having rights don’t mean you know how to use them.
