Listible - A Ton of Very Useful Lists

Monday February 13, 2006
One of my very favorite-est sites at the moment (and I think it's probably going to turn into a long-term relationship) is Listible, basically a list of lists. Their tag line is "a quick way to get resources" and boy, they're not kidding around. Here's just a few of the lists that I've bookmarked lately: Here's how Listible works: it's a brilliant combination of tagging, voting, and listing. Tagging for organization, voting for relevancy, and listing for ranking purposes. Anyone can make a list, and anyone can add to that list (free registration required).

More Social Bookmarking: Perhaps you've heard the buzz about Web 2.0? Web 2.0's most basic definition really is making the Web more community-oriented, and sites such as Del.icio.us, Digg, Clipfire, Yahoo My Web, Multiply, LinkedIn, and all these other social networking sites are a big part of that.

As far as defining what is Web 2.0 and what is not, I wouldn't be too overly worried about it. Basically, Web 2.0 is a loosely defined term that's an attempt to classify what many companies are heading for these days, Web-wise; it really should apply to anything that makes the Web more accessible in every way possible for the end user.

I was excited to check out Listable until I saw the fourth list down – it was very explicit language describing a porn site with young girls, etc. etc. Sad that stuff like that can just appear anywhere.

It seems that in recent months that listible has become less maintained and more overcome with spam. It’s a shame considering how much good content it used to have.

Although just starting out, you might try out ListPod.net as an alternative.

Disclaimer: I own listpod.net.
