I think Blist has lost their way. The home page markets these as the top scenarios for their product:
- Who are the top celebrities?
- Find great recipes
- Watch the best YouTube videos
- Who led the NFL in rushing?
- Who sold the most albums?I thought this was supposed to be a small business tool. How can they be successful as a consumer oriented list make (that nobody wants).
At Alexa rank 141,000...this is NOT a mainstream consumer site.

I heard an interview with the author (Mark Reiter) on NPR. This sounds like a really fun book. If you like "top ten lists" - this is even better. By arranging candidates in brackets (and even composing regional tournaments), you can come up with many interesting ways of comparing and rating things.

A friend from Bangalore gave me this book as a gift and raved about how authentic & simple it is. We were eating at a S. Indian restaurant at the time, and the chef/owner actually mentioned that he loves this book. Really excited to try some recipes from it!
