CHALLENGE #4 – Lists - Bloggers were challenge to create lists of 50 news items or facts – teach news item or fact must link somewhere, and that link cannot be used in more than one item. They were judged on number of comments, diversity of items, interestingness of items, how ‘on topic’ the list was, how ’spiced up’ the post was with design, the cohesiveness of the theme, and how quickly the list was posted.
