Happy New Year!

We leave you with a wise maxim for 2008:

If you believe in yourself, drink your school, stay in drugs, and don’t do milk - you can get work!

— Tracy Morgan as Mr. T

2007: The Necessary Lists

Just a few more days until 2008.

If you are like me then the future bums you out. It’s not that I don’t have an optimistic outlook on life, its just that I have watched a ton of movies. These tidbits of entertainment promise us awesome technological advancements like flying cars, hover skateboards, space travel, and fabulous new wardrobes. As we enter 2008 we are forced to cope with the fact that 2008 will be slightly better than 2000.

Solution: Reflect on 2007 with the help of the following lists while eating your old Y2K rations.

FBI News

One of the links we love to highlight in our “Frequent Pit-Stops” is the FBI’s Most Wanted list. In the past we have criticized the FBI for not doing enough to make this list known to the general public. However according to this article in the Guarding Unlimited, the FBI will know display the mug shots of some of the lists most violent criminals nationwide on 150 digital billboards in 20 cities nationwide.

Listgasm Update: Private Beta v3

logo

Last night we updated the site to add many of the features mentioned in the “10 features you want” and the “10 bugs that bug.” We will be doing one more update before we go public with Beta (scheduled for the first week of January, in the year of our Lord 2008), that should include a PDA / Smartphone / iphone version of the site.

Here’s what to look for on the latest and greatest update:

  • We improved the depiction of the “keeper / loser” votes by grouping it all together as “worthiness”. We will update the FAQ to describe its function as well.
  • We added a way to look at lists for a given web site in the listgasm directory http://listgasm.com/web_sites/
  • Since we have yet to pick a slogan, we decided to pick some of our favorites and have them rotate with each page load. (Refresh the page to check it out!)
  • We added “Classic Lists” and “Lists That Change” links to the left side of the page and took out the separator lines.
  • Users now have the ability to comment on any blog entry.

As always, any feedback is appreciated so please let us know what we can do to improve listgasm!

Weight Loss

We have been inundated with dozens of year-end weight-loss tips. Unfortunately for the 125 beta users enjoying listgasm, we will not be publishing most of them. Why you ask? It’s simple, diets don’t work.

So get get off your lazy ass and walk, run, lift weights, or play wii for 20 minutes a day. And try to stay away from starchy foods or those high in sugar. That’s it and that’s all.

Spotlight: Foreign Policy Magazine

Today we take a break from the completely random lists that we usually spotlight on the Listgasms Blog and give respect to the listgasmic qualities of Foreign Policy Magazine.

Their list archive is particularly interesting, like the sweet satisfaction of eating a persimmon for the first time.

Thanks to FP magazine we can all be more educated on topics like:

  • Individuals who have made themselves Presidents for life
  • The world’s biggest military build-ups (Sorry liberals, the US is not #1)
  • The most eligible World Leaders
  • The world’s largest hedge funds
  • 5 population trends to watch
  • The world’s top immigrant smuggling routes.

Merry Christmas

Get off the internet and hang out with some friends and family.

I could go on…

I have in the past (and probably will continue in the future) go on about how ridunkulous and crappy Hip Hop music has become…alas some more:

AT&T has released the top downloaded ringtones for 2007.  Notice how all of them except Nicklecrap are all Hip-Hop?

  • Shop Boyz - “Party Like a Rockstar”
  • Mims - “This Is Why I’m Hot”
  • Soulja Boy - “Crank That (Soulja Boy)”
  • Nickelback - “Rockstar”
  • Akon - “Don’t Matter”
  • T-Pain - “Buy You A Drank (Shawty Snappin)”
  • Hurricane Chris - “A Bay Bay”
  • Sean Kingston - “Beautiful Girls”
  • Huey - “Pop, Lock & Drop It”
  • Fergie - “Big Girls Don’t Cry”

Looks to me like a list of the worst music of 2007. Great job AT&T for makin’ that skrilla (profit) and a bigger kudos goes out to the record industry for making money of this crap? *2007 another declining year for the record industry, but you can see why if you just listen to any of the above excuses for music.
