Today's Top Ten List
December 4th, 2007
Xerpi keeps getting better.
I just noticed that the bottom of
my favorites page has new link
called "Public Xerpis." It
leads to a web page showing the ten most popular "public" views created by Xerpi's users and user communities!
There's serious views about real estate investing, and fun views about anime — each one filled with several link blocks loaded with relevant "favorite" links. There's even a view for Xerpi's favorite blogs (which ate up a half hour of my morning because I discovered so many cool sites to read...!)
So not only can Xerpi collect your favorites into one easy-to-use location. It's also a way to view collections that are being shared by other users. I predict we'll start seeing people collaborating on the definitive set of links for the topics that spark their passions. As they're scouting the web for even newer and better sites, their public views will get better and better.
I have to mention one special link hidden in the Public Xerpis. (Maybe I should call it "my favorite Favorite"...) There's a public view that's simply called "Metal", with a link block for the headbanging music's record labels, bands, news, and games. I discovered that tucked in the bottom of that view is a special block called "Audio/Visual" delights. And one of its links is a web page full of dark and hilarious drawings of...bunny suicides.
Besides making me laugh out loud, it reminded me how much better web surfing has become in 2007. There's now more ways to discover really great links — links that are someone else's favorites, and link collections that have made it into our selection of the "Ten Best." The best stuff finds its way to the top, carried up from the grass roots by the good will of all its unseen fans — even something as trivial and strange as "Bunny Suicides".
I laughed, I cried, and I fell in love all over again... With Xerpi.
