Take Five with MakeFive for List Junkies

Lists, lists, lists!

People’s fascination with lists is understandable. For some reason or another, when we see a list it ranks things for us, provides us a perspective, perhaps even influences us in a way we don’t even recognize. We put so much emphasis on lists that now a site has been created that is strictly dedicated to lists.

MakeFive is a site that basically says “you are what you think.” How true. The site has Top 5 lists for just about anything and everything. Top 5 favorite fonts, SNL cast members, people that inspire, just to name a few from the front page.

You can share lists, connect with others that list similar items, and comment on one another’s lists. The interaction is there, but I went cross eyes after being on this site for too long. WARNING: View this site in small doses, you’ll lose your vision…or at least go crosseyed like I did.

The site was useful professionally as I got top ranked business books, design sites, education sites, etc. So basically the site can be as useful or as silly as you want it to be. I definitely recommend this site as a “to pass the time” reference. I think you’ll be surprised at what you find.

    Just a brief note to thank you for visiting MakeFive and for sharing your favorable thoughts regarding the site. We’re really happy to read comments like these, and are continually working to improve the site to make it the best we can. :-)

    In fact, we’re going to be launching a new version of the site early next week. I hope you’ll be able to drop by again and see what you think of the updates!

    Thanks once again, and all the best!
