The L Magazine Launches New Blog, Listicles

New York, NY, January 10, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Popular alternative weekly The L Magazine recently launched “Listicles,” a new blog that obsessively aggregates lists from across the web and adds tons of new ones to the mix, sleeping three hours a night, at most. The best, funniest and truest lists are highlighted on Listicles (http://listicles.com): the most popular music, the most underrated television, everything has its place in someone’s top 10 or top 5. Even you.

Nobody’s sure of the origins of the word “listicle” (though blogs like Gawker and Lifehacker use the term frequently), but the future of all information — from poetry to policy to polenta recipes — lies somewhere between a list and an article. Yes, a listicle (not to be confused with a charticle).

Listicles plans to offer readers the chance to contribute lists of their own in the future, and hopes one day to invent a new language based entirely on lists.
