One long last look back

Thought I was all done with these 'looking back' "trends" and "lists" of 2007 (see previous post) but here are two links that I had fun reading today.

The 2007 Idiot of the Year Awards - WaPo blog
and
 101 Dumbest Moments in Business – Fortune magazine

The second link was found via India Uncut, where Amit has also linked (in his Linkastic column) to some nice ‘Books of the Year’ compilations -- by Chandrahas Choudhury, Sanjay Sipahimalani and from the Lounge and also by Michiko Kakutani, William Grimes and Janet Maslin.

Also The Year-End Mega Matrix: New York magazine’s ‘oversimplified guide to the year in culture.
