g e a k z: Top Ten Reason’s “Top 10 Lists” Suck.

  • Jaffer · 1 year ago
    5.) I love top ten lists - they are fun to read. Research says so !
    4.) I like five-point commenting as well - there are 5 other reasons why get right to the point.
    3.) You and I became friends by fighting over rights to the 5 point commenting on Kathy's blog.
    4.) You won.
    5.)I forgot what in order this list was supposed to start.

    Hi Curtis and Jaffer. Sorry for the delay in my response...Disqus is now blocked at work, so I can't catch up on replies until I'm home.
    I think Jaffer is in a time continuum warp with his numbering. Tis true, Jaffer and I are now inseparable due to comment organizational standards I imposed upon myself at Kathy's blog. Curtis, thanks for the words. I hope you look at Top 10 Lists in a different light now.

    I do like me a good Top 10 list and they're harder to write well than most people think. It's because of #5. But I guess a Top 3 List doesn't sound so enticing, does it?

    How's that patent coming along?

    Top 3 list? Do I smell... PATENT??

    I like "Top 2" lists. It is more of a couplet than a real list, and indecisive people to have an inner wrestling match. You just don't get that with a top 10 list.

    But seriously, because of Letterman, people expect the #1 in the list to be sort of lame and the #2 or #3 really being the best reason

    Hey Snackster! Thanks for dropping a comment in the bucket. I like the Top 2 idea. Maybe a top 1 list? Minimalism at its best. I thought Letterman invented the top 10 list. But I could be wrong. Blog on!

    Lol. Guilty of #3 myself. I'm a horrible writer so I rely on things like Top X lists to relay my otherwise undecipherable messages.

    Hey Furious, I like your honesty! Thanks for dropping in again.
