BoomTown Has No Idea What a Julia Allison Actually Is, But NomSociety Cracks Me Up!

I’ll admit, if asked and my life depended on it, BoomTown could not tell you what the bizarre Web 2.0 phenomenon of Julia Allison is exactly.

I would hazard a guess, if pressed, which would be: Geek-pretending “Gossip Girl.”

But I am obviously too old–well, even 20 years ago, I would have been too old–to really appreciate its profound superficiality, even if the kids love it.

In any case, this spoof of some slick life-blogging site called NonSociety recently started by by Allison and two other unusually hyperactive ladies, which was done by Richard Blakeley and called “NomSociety”, is definitely entertaining and made me laugh out loud several times.
