<strong>&#8220;It so happens that they are nice girls&#8211;the Internet&#8217;s equivalent of a telephone chat line staffed by a bunch of cheerleaders</strong></em><strong>&#8220;</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2010/02/twitter-201002">Vanity Fair ran </a>what was supposed to be a profile of the webs six most influential women; however Vanity Fair has become yet another example of the inability of mainstream media to take the the internet seriously. Everyone one of the women listed in the article is incredibly hardworking and passionate about their career as well as the industry they are apart of.</p>
<p>This article has begun to have a ripple effect around the web given the condescending tone of the article. I begs the reader to interpret this type of scathing review of internet culture as nothing more than fear on the part of mass media for their inability to grasp the market that the internet has. The real shocker is that the article was written by a <a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/bios/bio_grigoriadis">woman</a> who tones done the success of these women by calling them girls and raising accusations of the legitimacy of their craft. With the magazine and print media industry suffering like it is I am rather surprised that anyone could doubt the prowess of these women.</p>
