Most Popular
One of the routine things I do/places I visit as part of going online is checking out Yahoo!’s “Most Popular” page. They highlight the stuff that shouldn’t be popular (Paris Hilton back in jail!), the stuff that’s popular only for the day’s digg-like headline (Dog and Cat in love!) and then the stuff that otherwise sort of gets tucked under the rug.
Most times, that other stuff is of the global context and today is a prime example. Stuff like this really makes me question what i’m doing job-wise, where i’m putting my energy, and most of all, what the hell is wrong with people.
