This will be my last entry of 2006, as I’m about to launch into my annual multi-day eggnog bender, complete with hallucinations of flying reindeer and peace on earth, so I thought I’d use this opportunity to pay homage to Time magazine’s Person of the Year – yes, You! – and list the ten Rough Type posts that, over the past twelve months, have been most frequently eyeballed by the wisdom-spewing multitudes. This is a Genuine Zeitgeist, by the way, in contrast to that Fake Zeitgeist that a certain API-deprecating search engine ginned up<\/a> a couple of days ago.<\/p>\n

(There is one caveat: This list doesn’t account for posts that were read on the home page, which, not surprisingly, was the most visited page of all.)<\/p>\n

Without further ado, here’s your Rough Type top ten for 2006:<\/p>\n

10. Welcome Web 3.0<\/a> (7,750 page views)<\/p>\n

9. Your new IT budget: $10<\/a> (7,885 views)<\/p>\n

8. The great unread<\/a> (8,497 views)<\/p>\n

7. The great Google float<\/a> (9,109 views)<\/p>\n

6. Seven rules for corporate blogging<\/a> (9,654 views)<\/p>\n

5. The five Google products<\/a> (13,188 views)<\/p>\n

4. Avatars consume as much electricity as Brazilians<\/a> (13,411 views)<\/p>\n

3. The death of Wikipedia<\/a> (16,078 views)<\/p>\n

2. Dweebs, horndogs and geezers<\/a> (24,143 views)<\/p>\n

Drum roll.<\/p>\n

1. The amorality of Web 2.0<\/a> (43,237 views)<\/p>\n

Merry Christmas to all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
