Software Listmania! (TM)

I spent most of the day setting up a new Hewlett Packard Workstation, so perhaps it would be appropriate to list a few Listmania!® lists by Amazon.com's software editors:

Oops! Some editors use Listmania lists more than others! Here are some more short lists:

Lists from Amazon's Kitchen, and Home & Garden Editors:

List from Amazon's Fashion, and Beauty Editors:

List from Amazon's Electronics Editors, including Cameras & Photography and Computers.

Lists from Amazon's DVD Editors

There are really quite a few DVD Editor's Listmanias, but I just want to get this out today and tomorrow I'll do a better job of digging up 50 Lists all on one topic!

Anybody can write a Listmania! list, but the editors at Amazon.com do an especially good job. After all, it is their business to keep up with the many products Amazon has to offer within their own specialized field.

Here are 50 lists from the Computer & Video Games editors:

The Christmas shopping season seems to start earlier every year! With the shipping lag-times involved in online shopping, it's not too early to start thinking about picking out a few items for those hard-to-shop-for people on your list.

Amazon Book Editors' Listmania

"The best laid plans o' mice an' men gang aft agley."     - Robt. Burns

I thought I'd done a pretty clever thing when I resyndicated the Listmania® lists of Amazon.com's Book Editors. The search engines were gobbling up these diverse and authoritative selections, and sales were even improving slightly.

Unfortunately, the third-party service I used to convert these lists to RSS truncates source pages at 1024 Kb, and Amazon's recent remodelling has caused my 10 list feeds to dwindle to 2 lists each.

I guess there's little recourse but to list them here. Incidentally, there is no really effective way to find Listmania® lists on the topic you're interested in, so this will help you with that. Just use the search box at the upper left corner of this page to search within this blog. As more lists are added, the likelyhood of a search "hit" will improve.

Here are 50 top-quality Editors' lists:
