Greetings from St. Pete/Tampa, where it's gray and chilly, but at
least no one is shoveling/scraping frozen water.
How old are you in Internet years? Have you been online long enough
to remember Price's List of Lists, Gary's venerable and valuable
collection of ranked listings of companies, people and various
resources? Well, it lives on, maintained by Trip Wycoff of
SpecialIssues.com. And we maintain the tradition on both
ResourceShelf and DocuTicker of continually posting all sorts of lists
and rankings that we think you'll find interesting and/or useful.
Read all about it in the current Resource of the Week, and see some
current examples.
Also...have a great week.

Resource of the Week - (We Love) Lists & Rankings
By Shirl Kennedy, Senior Editor
Direct link to this post online: <http://digbig.com/5bbaqy>
Sometimes even we find it hard to believe that ResourceShelf is
entering the eighth year of its existence. (My, how time flies when
you're having fun.) Well, those of you who have been 'around' as long
as we have just might remember a venerable resource created and
maintained by Gary, called Price's List of Lists. Its longtime
curator, Trip Wyckoff, explains:
Price's List of Lists (LOL) was started around 1998 and maintained
by Gary Price for many years. The LOL grew, and Gary's commitment
to other projects and speaking engagements made the upkeep of the
LOL impossible. In late 2000, Gary approached Trip Wycoff of
Specialissues.com, about taking over the upkeep and expansion of
the LOL. By 2002 the online database and structure to maintain and
organize the LOL was in place and in October 2002 the LOL was
transferred to Specialissues.com.
The List of Lists is a database of ranked listings of companies,
people and resources freely available on the Internet. Content
comes from a number of sources including: Specialissues.com, Gary
Price's 'ResourceShelf' and individual users of the LOL.
The LOL is organized by subject headings based on the two-digit
1997 U.S. NAICS Codes. There is hope to expand the subject
headings to include more detail, but at this time these are only
headings.
There is no formal 'search function' for the LOL. However, one can
search for content within each of the subject headings using your
browser's 'Find' function. There is also a masterlist of all
magazines available in the LOL. The masterlist entry pulls all of
a magazine's rankings from all of the different subject headings
into one place.
So, thanks to Trip, Price's List of Lists lives on as a valuable
resource. And we continue to post lists & rankings of interest both
here on ResourceShelf and over on DocuTicker, our sister site. They
just keep coming and people continue to find them useful. A few recent
examples:
* List of Corporate Social Media Strategists, Corporate Community
Managers in 2010 - Jeremiah Owyang, a social media
consultant/analyst in Silicon Valley maintains this list of folks
with social media-related jobs in enterprise-class corporations.
* The 50 highest-earning American athletes - Compiled by Sports
Illustrated and, in spite of his recent off-the-golf-course
problems, Tiger Woods is still number one.
* Fortune: The 100 Best Companies to Work For in 2010 -
This is one of those compilations from a leading business
periodical that comes out year after year after year.
* Marian Dworaczek's Compilation of Library Related Conferences -
Marian (University of Saskatchewan) has maintained this periodically
updated jewel for years. It's international in scope, and we like
the fact that he includes past conferences as well.
* New Yorker - Back Issues: The Ten Most Requested Articles -
The New Yorker is much loved by information professions and lots
of other folks as well. How can you not check this out and see the
most popular items in the magazine's archives?
