Ditto Blog

We’re at the start of creating a list that’s a little bit different, and I’d really appreciate your help.

Bearing in mind all the talk about ’social networking’, ‘Web 2.0′ etc, we thought it’d be fun to rank the biggest celebrities and rockstars in the world of the internet. We’ve got a bit of a list together, but we really want more suggestions and comments on whether we’ve got the right people.

It’s all for fun, and keep checking here to see when the list is ready for YOUR votes to decide who really is the biggest, most glamorous rockstar in the geeky world of Web 2.0:
