Formula for a Monster Post: Don’t Ask Me

I couldn't come up with 10. If you can, I'll post them.

Actually, it should be "Top 10 Reasons..."

Yeah, I was going to do a post on "Why Bill Green Is Great" -- but my pre-post focus groups and other market research indicated that only one guy would probably read it ;)

Because the 10 Hottest Female News Anchors was already done?;-pIt’s a universal human topic which also tapped into the current ‘World Hates America’ Zeitgeist.Just try another one today called "Why America is great” and see what happens.

Just Fark...after that, folks who saw it there posted it on i-am-bored, digg, and quite a few others. truly viral.

I read the original post early on and had no idea how it had exploded. Which sites did you submit it to?

Pitting tribe against tribe always works, especially at World Cup time. :)

My attempt at explaining it:The blogosphere likes lists.And, the world is increasingly nationalistic, it seems to me. The fact that an American generated a list of the top 10 countries/cultures is also noteworthy...both for your erudition (considered all too rare) and your chutzpah.
