Previous entry | Jun, 22nd, 2009: Pink | Next entry

Ida Wulff (N) is, if you don't already know, a well known Norwegian blogger. In this (N) entry she writes, roughly translated, that older generation of bloggers have a lot to learn from the younger generation. The younger generation being what many call fashion bloggers or in Norwegian "rosablogger" (directly translates to pink blogger).
If you should be unfamiliar with the blogosphere you will still be able to understand that there is a certain amount of rivalry between the different types of bloggers. Each group perhaps thinking they are a little better or funnier or something-or-other than the others.

Wulff also suggests that the older generation of bloggers look down upon, and feel they are superior to the fashion bloggers. After this she asks why then many of the fashion blogs are so much more successful than the other group.

I'm not sure what group of bloggers I fit into, but because I haven't really seen anyone pick on fashion bloggers lately; here goes:

The above image illustrates how much I feel I gain from the blog of Ida Wulff and the like.

So there's that. On the other hand I actually don't have an opinion about this matter other than my own personal preferences (like everyone else), so I feel this makes for a pretty poor discussion. A discussion on the wrong premises if you will. You might wonder why I bother to reply then, but hey, I like to be read as well.

EDIT: Lately I've been working on this AJAX-based photo gallery, so I would like it if you had a look and left me a comment to see if things are working from other places as well.

I think this pretty much sums up the debacle for me. Pink and tiny little duck in the corner. :D

If you read Norwegian you might find this amusing.

Nais :) Jeg har gått glipp av hele debatten, men åpenbart har det gått litt hett for seg?

Det har gått litt for seg, ja. Litt morsomt at folk (inkludert meg selv) har reagert så mye egentlig. hehe.
