Innovation and lists
Ah lists. We all know that the end of the year brings a flood of top 10, 50, 100 lists. And although many of them are vapid forays into what one person thinks matters right now as opposed to being a sign of what will endure, the advantage of the lists is that one can scan, decide whether to look further, and discard based on someone else taking the time to generate his or her view of the best or most important.
