I find myself reading articles. Lots of articles. The internet is so big of a place with so much to learn from. Sitting and watching .gifs or looking at memes can be fun, but if I do it for an extended amount of time I start to feel numb. I would rather be intellectually challenged instead of just entertained. The articles are more writing than art, but I feel that they are necessary to the internet as a whole. The popularity of top ten lists continues to grow, as they are both informational and entertaining. It may not be an art form, but there is something about the way they are presented, the content, and the conciseness of the short lists (which prove to be enough to engage the reader, but not overwhelm them with information or text). Some of the best websites I have found for these lists include:
Cracked
Top Tenz
Smashing Lists
Listverse
And if you like compilations and themes:
Lists galore!
These may not be art, but they are certainly an important part of internet culture.
