Gurus v. Bloggers, Round 1

This is a fun article that makes a great point. The concept is this: line up the websites of eight design and usability gurus against the websites of eight bloggers who write on the same topics. Evaluate the respective websites for design and usability. The result, needless to say, is one-sided, and not in favour of the supposed experts. Which makes me wonder: what if we took the e-learning gurus and lined them up against the bloggers, and asked them to, say, use the internet to facilitate learning? How about Masie versus Levine? Hall versus Siemens? I think that the results are similarly one-sided, which makes me want to aks: what makes these 'gurus' gurus at all?
