Least Recommended

Written on 4 February 2010

Notice a yellow box under each post?

This is a Groundswell experiment.  New for 2010.  Your vote recommends a post to visitors who come along later, or to yourself on later visits.  Results are on the right, under Most Recommended, showing the 60 posts with the most votes.

Caution: What do you suppose happens if you only read recommended posts?  If only recommended posts get recommended?  Yes, that screech that came through the speakers at school, when the mike picked up speaker sound and sent it through to the speakers again.

The web can easily become an echo chamber.  If you want, the web can endlessly embroider your illusions, and widen your blind spots sufficiently to crowd everything else from view.  The Web Trap.

We are hunting Adventures in Aversion here.  Like Your Life Depends On It.  So use the Search box (bottom right).  Search for the name of someone who sets your teeth on edge.  Recommend a post no one has recommended.

Do we need another list on the right: Least Recommended?
