I don't know how many people still dance the Macarena or wear a mullet. :) You have a point, Jennifer, but just because something is successful doesn’t mean people like it.

Still I don't like lists just for the sake of a list -- there has to be a theme or a reason behind it. Which sounds obvious but I see lists that don't mesh with the rest of the blog and it makes me nuts. Lists, like regular posts have a place but unless you have an actual list blog than it should never be all you do. Well, my channel has done lists with good success and so I like them.

Especially when something gets my goat. Don’t worry, Angela, my husband says I go overboard as well. Especially when something gets my goat.

More than likely you're always going to keep seeing them, so I don't really see any reason to join the ongoing trend if you hate them too. Why care so much about getting onto Digg's front page? I don't see the worth of the 15 seconds of fame, and the task is just too daunting to accomplish unless you want to spend hundreds of hours wading through the junk on there. I think you're better off sticking to your regular format because your readers will spend more time on your site than just skimming through top 10 lists.

I don't like the top ten lists either unless it's a topic I really like and am interested in. It doesn't attract me because if it is something I really like, I'll read it no matter if it's a top 10 list or not. Maybe we can start the anti-top 10 movement. :) Angela, that’s a little overboard, but I know what you mean.

Well not most of the time.. only a few times. I don't like this trend of top 10. Some top 10 are corny already and that includes David Letterman’s. Well not most of the time.. only a few times.
