My Firefox homepage is Delicious’ Popular links page. Every day I get to look at things that people on the web think are important. One time, one the links was for someone that I knew [a flickr contact] before they made the popular list.
Most times, a link stays up for a day, sometimes two, as the critical mass of the web adds to its staying power. I don’t click on every link, but many do end up on my own del.icio.us page [which are added to my Feedburner RSS feed]
This video was on the popular list for three days. Take a look at it and you will know why. “Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor tells an amazing story of had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke….”
Spoiler alert: Taylor presents a compelling argument that religious ecstatic experience is simply a function of the brain’s anatomy. But if those experiences can bring about universal peace, I don’t care how it happens.

Hi rielo,
I have http://popurls.com/ bookmarked too, but the data stream of information is sometimes overwhelming.
I have noticed that when an item found on any of sites listed there gets a lot of buzz, people bookmark it enough so it goes to del.icio.us’ popular page. I like that meta-filter even better.
Cheers,
Al

A pleasure. Considering how much work you are doing on your house/homestead, it is not surprising that you are left headed at the moment.:-)
Cheers,
Al
P.S. I’m always curious to know how people find my blog and website.
