The world's most... The top X... The most unique... The most phenomenal... If the popularity of sites like Deputy Dog is anything to go by, we seem particularly drawn to such lists.
I wonder why this is so? The characteristics seem to be:
- A list is involved.
- The content is something fun/curious to look at; to be consumed and disposed of.
- The list has to be short - max 10.
This could be a useful device to get people to read a series of stuff you want to communicate. What do you think?
I liked 7 Amazing Holes.
Thanks to Bede for pointing me to this site.
