What List 5 is.
A social experiment where everyday for one full year I will List 5 of a particular subject. Here are some examples of previous subjects: List 5 things you are thankful for, List 5 albums representative of your collection, List 5 items in your wallet and List 5 stories involving vomit.

What makes it a social experience is that the site is totally interactive. It is up to you, dear reader, to provide your own lists. It's not a quiz. It's more like a highly personalized poll but the answers are often insightful, humorous, honest, and refreshing. The key to the project is to list 5 answers with the best ones being compiled into a book. Don't be fooled, coming up with five answers for some questions is harder than it seems. It's an open project so anyone who wants to comment can. Read more about it here: http://list5.wordpress.com/about-list-5/


What List 5 isn't.
Some dumb ass group feigning importance when all they want is lots of people to join. You know what I am talking about. "Let's set and break a Guinness world record", "THEY ARE TRYING TO SHUT DOWN FACEBOOK - PETITION TO KEEP IT! INVITE ALL!" (aside from the annoying all caps title, if they were shutting down Facebook what good would a Facebook petition do?), "15,000,000 for lower gas prices" (something tells me OPEC's production won't be impacted by this group unless each member was a multimillionaire) and "Six Degrees Of Separation - The Experiment" (this guy is an author who was promoting his books) are all examples.

Since this is a social experiment I would like as many people as possible to participate. Click the link, check out the site, and if you think your friends would truly enjoy it send them an invite to the group. Those who join great. Those who don't we didn't need anyway.
