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.

Here's the definitive list. GR isn't in the top ten; it's 30th. Obviously, faulty data. At least we have this going for us: "unusually high voter-participation." Minneapolis is 4th, Eunice. But there is Brett Favre...
