If I may plug, here's a new blog I'm working on that both aggregates and generates lists: http://listicles.com Excellent post–the listicle has become a real art form on the web, whether the topics are highbrow or lowbrow.

I don't mind a decent list on one page with a few good insights. I do mind a list that: Is a copy and paste of the same old tired information Is spread across several pages Makes me regret ever the 3 seconds it took to click over to the page. I don't mind generating ad revenue for someone who takes time and effort to produce quality writing. I hate being a pawn to increase traffic, links value, and revenue through exploitations of ad sense. I think reputation for quality posts should be more important than ability to write headlines.
