Yahoo has their look back at 2007 with plenty of top tens in there.

The cultural critic at NPR's Fresh Air put together an interesting list of the Top 10 Cultural Trends of 2007.
Here's the list:
1) The permanent campaign -- the endless election cycle began a full year earlier than normal, so will we get sick of it by November? Here's a sub-trend, how technology (the web) is affecting politics.
2) Iraq films fail at the box office -- maybe in numbers but a greater trend is the self-documentation by the soldiers, something captured in Redacted and Gunner Palace and numerous other Youtube videos
3) The Sopranos ending -- I hope this is not a trend. High art? What??? Ending with Journey's Don't Stop Believing automatically rules that out.
4) Stories about hitting the road -- where we're going, we don't need roads
5) TMZing of America -- even normal people arguing in restaurants, or parents arguing with their kids end up on Youtube.
6) Jocks Gone Wild -- when Barry Bonds develops manboobs in a few years, we'll know the truth
7) Hip Sentimentality --
8) Nightly Ideological News -- nothing new here, been watching this trend since 2001
9) Atheist Chic -- Christopher Hitchens is not sexy, but Antonio Bendares and others are.
10) The Writers' Strike -- please, please resolve this soon. Life is not the same without The Daily Show.

Speaking of ideological news, here's Keith Olbermann's Top Ten Commentaries of 2007.

And more List of Lists from Time mag here.

We'll be tracking the best year-end top ten lists as they come out.
Here's a good collection of 2007 lists across the web to start off.

Imeem just announced the addition of Sony/Universal Music to round out the top 4 music publishers that are allowing Imeem users share and listen to commercial music online. Imeem is a media sharing social networking site, and has a plug-in application for Facebook. It appears that the music industry is finally warming up to the idea of an add supported sharing model. Along with music recommendation sites like Pandora and Last.fm, Imeem leverages social tagging and community rating to help users find content. One of the most exciting aspects of Imeem that I found is the ability to build playlists of commercial tracks and play them in their entirety. You can build and manage multiple playlists for easy access to your favorite tracks on the go. I highly recommend giving Imeem a test drive.

Remember the days when you created mixtapes for friends?
Now you can give back the nostalgia with this clever gift idea:
It's a 64mb usb stick embedded in a cassette, just big enough to store a 1hr mp3 mix.
Doh! They're back ordered! Hat-tip to R.Gorrel for the link.

Jott.com's latest release connects their mobile voice-to-text messaging service to your Google calendar. Now you create calendar entries by talking into your cellphone:
Log into your Jott.com account.

Google made headlines this week after announcing their initiative to generate alternative sources of energy from sustainable sources, cheaper than coal. Google plans to spend millions on research and development of alternative energy sources. Wall Street analysts are scratching their heads...why is a search advertising company taking on the green energy question? If you consider that energy is what makes information possible, it starts to make sense. Google's long-term strategy is to make information relevant and useful to all. Changing the way we use energy will change the way we access information. Most companies that specialize in leveraging IT capabilities treat energy is a necessary evil. So if Google makes even a small dent in changing the behaviors of IT managers, they could kick-start a trend that is long overdue. The Boston Globe reports today how others have also joined the good fight: Green solutions start at grass roots - The Boston Globe.
