Earlier today, Elliot Silver from Elliot’s Blog posted a fun article (based on a similar article by Bruce Marler) with a list of various top-five lists largely targeted to the domain industry, but also giving his readers insight into who he is as a person. I think that this is a great way to both educate and interact with readers so I hope to make this a common occurrence here at Rural Technocrat – Top Five Tuesdays, perhaps?
