I believe in the fast paced society we operate in where time is something we cannot waste lists can be rather convenient even if it is at the expense of good quality writing.

While they may link to some really nice resources you've probably already come across them earlier in the week or month. The thing that really gets me interested is when an author writes great 'original' content. Those are the people worth bookmarking and listening too.

It's certainly an issue I've noticed, and something I wanted to blog about. I tend to agree with Rob, though. I think quality content will always best a list/round-up posts in a traffic match.
