This is a test. This is only a test.
It is not really about Columbus Ohio Real Estate.
This is about social media use, use of technology, Twitter, domains, IPhones, Blackberry. It is about self-importance in the way web celebrities are self-important. Its'a different kind of self-importance than celebrities like Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Lindsy Lohan etc. it's a geekier kind of celebrity. If you don't know web celebrities it may be boring. When I think of web celebrities I think of people like Jason Calacanis, Matt Cutts, Robert Scoble, Chris Pirillo, Darren Rowse. I don't know if those names are all answers, if there are other web celebs I know nothing of.
I found the test on Planet WordPress from Sept. 9, 2007 whiich says:
Matt: "Technosailor has an online self-importance test that tells you which "web celebrity" you are based on a few questions. I'm apparently a possible outcome but when I took the test myself I got "Jason Calacanis."
I don't read Planet WordPress much. I am trying to work on Plugins for my WordPress.org blog... Instead I ended up taking a quiz.
The quiz told me: "You are most like Matt Mullenweg!"
"You are most like Matt Mullenweg. Though you recognize your authority, you do not relish the idea of using your power too aggressively. Instead, you rely on peers a lot. You do participate in the social media world, but it is not something that occupies a lot of time. You most likley devote yourself to projects that you feel passionate about and tend to evangelize those things quite a bit."
Like I have any power... I like the sound of "You do participate in the social media world, but it is not something that occupies a lot of time."
hmmmm but who is Matt Mullenweg? I recognized his name... but couldn't say who he is like Matt Cutts, Robert Scoble, Jason Calacanis...
"Matt who???" was my first thought but I backtracked and sure enough Matt Mullenweg is Matt, "the founding developer of WordPress, the Matt who wrote "I'm apparently a possible outcome but when I took the test myself I got "Jason Calacanis." on Planet Wordpress... In a link on his website photoMatt.net he shows he is the most important Matt according to Google. I woulda guessed Matt Cutts was the most important Matt! I'd think Matt Heaton is the most important Matt in the AcitiveRainiverse.
I wish I was more like Matt Mullenweg when it comes to WordPress.org ... my ColumbusBestBlog.com could do with me being a lot more like Matt.
