Goodie Bag TV - Americans Love Lists

It’s true - lists are very popular online and I suspect people often write all kind of lists primarily as link bait - and it often works (to some degree). People like short, to-the-point bullet points that give them some interesting/entertaining information, right? But it’s not just online is it? Magazines often have articles that are based on lists - these two headlines were on the cover of October’s issue of FastCompany: “25 Widgets We Love” and “14 Designers To Watch”. And since it looks like it’s working - why stop? Like he says in the video: “We need more lists, we need lists of lists within a list” ;)

Another video I ran into today:

Here Comes Another Bubble - The Richter Scales

[Update: OK, it looks like the video has been taken down because of a copyright claim (of a photo used in the video). But apparently you can still watch the video here (at least for now)]

Pretty funny lyrics - and a catchy song too ;) Yeah, some people think there is another bubble going on. Perhaps - I mean, is Facebook really worth $15 billion?

This video is actually a pretty good link bait - and they even admit that it’s a link bait video: “won’t you blog about this song?” :)
