Year End Lists

December 23rd, 2007 No Comments

At the end of every year, the hordes of people who know things better than you do come out with their top ten lists. Here at The Hole, the best thing that we can come up with is a list of the most popular posts since I installed the Popularity Contest plugin in October. This rates each post on various criteria, but basically it shows which posts have been seen more than others.

  1. Blog Action Day
  2. Here comes $100 oil, and $3 gasoline?
  3. Google Adds IMAP Support To GMail
  4. Brave New World
  5. The Pied Piper of Oakland
  6. Skylark Apartments
  7. Global Warming is a Crock
  8. Pimpin for Birthday Boy’s School
  9. Halloween
  10. The BlogRush Cut

Next year, we should be able to have a better list, as we have just installed the PostRatings plugin. Go ahead and give those posts a rating. It’s like instant, anonymous feedback, and next year, we’ll have a top ten list of the best rated posts.

Blog Action Day

October 15th, 2007 1 Comment

Today, bloggers are enacting en mas to try to make a difference with Blog Action Day by righting about the environment. I, for one, will not participate in this joyous event celebrating Captain Planet and his drug-running son.

“Some people are able to get 100 miles per gallon in a Prius. My son can get 100 miles per hour. And that’s after inventing the Internet.”

It has also been commented, by “Anonymous” that the “blog action day” will have as much effect as the e-petitions. I’m thinking that in the future, there will be a big blog shakeup. Not unlike the “dot com bust” of so many years ago. After that time, the blogosphere will be a more respected environment. Sure, we have the independent news coming out via blog, but it’s ignored by the majority of people. Hell, even this blog is ignored by the majority of people in my house.

So again, I will not participate in Blog Action Day. However, I am going to post about it in a futile attempt to increase traffic.
