All Your List Are Belong To Us

November 15, 2008 1:43 PM

It’s been said that if you can’t find what you’re looking for, make it yourself. In searching for a list of lists, these guys noticed a lack of sites that aggregate lists, so Listropolis was born. For example, The 10 Worst Places to Get Caught Having Sex. Some of their lists are a little more useful like 20 Essential Sources for Free HD Videos, or the aptly named 7 Big-Ass Holes in the Earth.

I grouped the phrase "7 Big-Ass Holes in the Earth" incorrectly, and was pleasantly surprised.

Y'know, the internet is starting to remind me a lot of the Superbowl. Except the ads are not funny. More lists! Less clicking through a maze of ads!

That said, some of the lists are list-tastic.

I've seen the Bingham Canyon Mine, and pictures just don't do it justice.

Wikipedia used to have a list of lists, but they changed it to a category in accordance with WP:EJ (eliminate joy).

Sorry, but when the freaking home page is "5 Mesothelioma Treatment Options" I'm afraid this is way too AdSense scammy for me.

I guess if sites full of Google bait are clever, this is clever.

A link. To a page. That links. To the real content?

Yeah, that lost me. I just don't care enough about things I don't care about to give them two clicks, one is more than enough. Also, lists- can we just move on please. Lists are for those that think the net is for checking facebook walls and youtube videos.

I wish there was a page that would aggregate and list these list aggregators for me.

Why Bort, I could give you lists of such pages.

Wow. I thought a "glory hole" was something else entirely.

Err... no I didn't. I don't know what you're talking about. Move along.

A glory hole is used when a dam is at full capacity and water needs to be drained from the reservoir.
