TIME Person of the Year
The 2011 TIME Person Of the Year: Still not me, though I suppose if I’d occupied something, it totally could have been.
TIME’s Top Ten of Everything
The TIME top ten of everything in 2011.
Eleven Sounds
Eleven sounds your kids have probably never heard.
TIME’s 50 best websites of 2011. <Insert joke about my Tumblr not making the list.>
Some notables: 8tracks, Turntable.fm, Dear Photograph, Grantland (really?), Instapaper, Techmeme (but not Mediagazer?), Evernote, Kickstarter, Airbnb, Google+ (!!?), Klout (!!!!!!!!?) and The Escapist (but without mentioning Zero Punctuation).
Time offers a top ten of, well, everything of 2010. Comprehensive.

TIME has released their 50 best websites of 2010. Vimeo, Etsy, The Onion, Gowalla and TED all made the list. Pop Loser didn’t. But Tumblr did, so I’m counting that as a win.

Time’s Essential Blogs
Time has released their annual list of best blogs. Pop Loser is once again spurned. Fuck you, Time.
A speculative preview of Time’s feature story about Pitchfork.
The writing on Pitchfork is occasionally criticized as self-indulgent. The scope of the site’s influence is also criticized, specifically the manner in which their coverage can contribute to a faddish appreciation of bands (see: Black Kids). That reviews come with corresponding numerical values on a ten-point scale is criticized, but not as often as the first two things.
The real question is why did I italicize Time but not Pitchfork?
