Top 10 lists

What’s so compelling about Top 10, Top 3, Top whatever lists, really? After reading a top 3 list by my friend Jonas, it got me thinking…

They always catch my attention, and I always feel used after reading them. Another 3 minutes of my life wasted or however long it took to click through to get to No 1. Do I really need to know the top 10 signs my dog is gay, or 7 ridiculous ways to die while golfing?

Probably not. But in the ever increasing heap of noise on the internet, that’s what grabs my attention. Sadly.

(and for the record, Jonas’s top 3 list was a very enjoyable read….. I’m not by any means ranting about hating his post. It was just what got me thinking about my erratic-toplist-clicking behavior . Ok, I’m afraid that if I keep writing I’ll just dig my hole even deeper…. )

Topplistor är lockande helt enkelt! Jag tror att det finns en topplista på hur man driver trafik till sin blogg och där såklart topplistorna med som ett av tipsen.

Mina tre anekdoter var nog inte tänkta som en lista även om de till sist blev det. Man vill ju starta mjukt och avsluta på topp – Som en topplista! 🙂

Jo, din lista var topp 🙂 Måste nog skriva mer topplistor för att driva mer trafik till bloggen…. Det är ruggit deprimerande om man skriver och ingen läser….
