Working at Home on the Internet

A Short List of Lists

 

Again, Darren Rowse has a Group Writing Project going, this one is about Lists.  I think the term fits different senerios.  In his introductory post, Darren has 2 different lists.  One is a List of Prizes and the Second is a List of Requirements on Participation.

I see lists just about every day while reading the various blogs in my Favorites List.  Every one was found before the announcement, so I doubt any will be on the List of Participants.

 

Here is my List of Blogs with recent posts containing Lists:

~~ Smiley Cat has a list of 5 Free Web Directories You Should Submit Your Site To.  It is a good list and even has numbers.

~~ Business BlogWire has a list of 5 Reasons to Preschedule Your Posts (and 5 Reasons Not To).  I guess 5 is a Good Number for Lists.

~~ I Got News For You has a list of 5 ways on How To Extend the Shelf Life of a Blog Post Through Linking.  Nice picture of Spam (the canned meat, not the bad kind).

~~ cre8d design blog has a list of of 21 skills planned for an upcoming screencast.  She breaks from 5 things on lists big time.

~~ Ramblings From a Glass Half Full has a list of The 10 Secrets To Our Success.  The only problem is he has 29 things on his list. 

 

Ok, that was 5 of the Numbered Type of Lists (without numbers).  There are other types as well, such as when Successful Blog presents This Weeks SOB Awards (this is week 42) to Successful and Outstanding Bloggers.  Or my Weekly Helpful Reads which is a list of articles I found on the Internet regarding Working at Home.

Then there are things like this Blog Carnival on Creating a Better Life, although not technically a list, it does list articles from other Blogs in the same genre.

 

This did start out mostly as a tongue-in-cheek post, but it does show one thing.  There are a Lot of Lists around.  I think the reason for this is because it is an easy way to get a point across and give good information in a point by point manner.

I know you use Lists, share with us the Reasons behind it.
