Hey, Lisa!
People will always love rankings, winning, and all the very human urgings that gives us bell curves, short heads (without which there wouldn't be long tails), honors, medals, grades, memberships, sports, bigness and all that nonflat stuff that communism failed to extinguish. I had none for most of my life, and in the past few years I've had plenty enough to satisfy me for the duration. So I'm glad to let the rest of ya'll enjoy whatever high-status graces come your way. They'll always be there. Hey, why do you think Technorati touts the long tail on one hand and ranks blogs on the other? It's a big sphere. Have it all (not just both, for there's more than just two choices) ways.
For what it's worth, cyberspace is flat. It's just the people who form piles on it. :-)
