    Heh… I can imagine those would all work!

    Did you compile this list from things you observed?

    Too true, too true :) Great post. I Stumbled it :)

    It’s amazing that the same things will repeatedly get famous. I think we need to branch out now.

    Pretty much! I’ve been through at least 1,000 stumbles this week and checking out the stuff that always seems to have the most thumbs ups…a lot of them fall along these lines :)

  4. Heather | September 13th, 2007 at 3:22 pm

    1000 stumbles - wow that would take a bit of time to get through. I feel guilty if I spend more than a few minutes here and there… unless of course it’s for research. ;)

  5. dana_wallert | September 13th, 2007 at 3:37 pm

    And isn’t it all research Heather? :)

  6. Susan | September 13th, 2007 at 3:41 pm

    I agree with this post 100%…thanks for pointing it out! :D

  7. dana_wallert | September 13th, 2007 at 3:52 pm

    Thanks Susan. One more reason I love SU…that’s how I found your blog!

  8. YC | September 13th, 2007 at 6:05 pm

    Great list, Dana - and this is definitely from your stumbling research! :)

    Hi Dana

    It can be a little frustrating when you spend a lot of time writing an in depth, thoughtful post only to see it “flop” on SU, and then something funny, which you reposted out of an email, gets 8,000+ hits from SU! Kind of makes you wonder if your blog’s in the wrong niche… ;)

    Nice list.
