Hi I’m Jason and I’ll be contributing to the listible blog from time to time. While Leon covers technical topics I wouldn’t touch with a barge-pole, I’ll be spouting off from a user’s perspective as I’m quite unashamedly a bit of a listible fanboy.

Listible clearly has some close relatives in the Web 2.0 sphere but a key element that differentiates the site from its cousins is ”resources”. With the constant addition of resources to existing lists the site is expanding in all directions. This gives the site more than just a single focus point. Not only do we return time and time again to see which lists are popular enough to hit the front page, we also find ourselves returning to our favourite lists to see how they’ve grown.

The hardest part for me now is keeping track of all of my favourite lists! It was much easier in the “old days” of social bookmarking when I only had to watch the homepage of a site to see all I needed to.

In a very short time listible has become a valuable source of information covering many topics and interests. In my day job as a web designer I’m finding myself regularly returning to listible to check the growing resources in lists like:

• Best Web Design Resources

• Online References for Usability and Accessibility in Web Design

• Color Scheme Generators and Resources

After hours I’m a musician and I regularly tap into lists like:

• Best Guitar sites

• Best “Music Recommender” Websites

• Sites to download free (and legal) mp3

• Online Music Storage and Sharing

Anyway, that’s enough chatter from me, I have some lists to check on.

We’re interested in how you use listible. What are your most watched lists?

Cheers folks,
Jason
