You are drawing significance from Chris' made up example? Suppose instead the top three things are orange juice, Tide and milkbones. What would that tell you? Feedster is a good tool for finding this stuff by searching, but I still think the list is somewhere between useless and harmful - as are the equivalents from anyone else. We don't need more rankings or hierarchies ore emphasis of who is on top and who isn't. Fuck the A-list, the B-list, the Z-list. I don't want any list whatsoever. Scott, now you are just being goofy.

I prefer coffee not soda in the morning, but it manages to be diverse AND coherent. New readers need exactly that. A day or a week later, they'll graduate into a niche about which they are passionate and never look back. Hopefully, our search will serve them well once they make that deeper leap.
