Bragging 2.0 .com.net

A couple sites have drifted past my web browser recently that I thought were amusing. They have brought the age-old past-time of braggadocio into the web 2.0 world of social-networking.

• The Best Stuff In the World
• State your preference on things. What things? Anything. Best Shoe. Best CD. Best Yogurt. Best Planet. (Crap, I'm the only person who thinks Dune is the best planet.)

• Meosphere
• This site lets you check off anything you have done. Use it to keep a list of achievements, or compare yourself to your friends. You can do it by list, or by a map for places. Which major US Cities have you visited? How many US States? What Academy Award winning Movies have you seen? (30 of 79 for me, not too shabby.)
  

If you think of something they don't have, you can easily add a new category (for Best Stuff) or create a new list of things (for Meosphere).

If you are pedantic about collecting things, or getting only the best product, or demonstrating your supreme good taste, you just may enjoy spending a lot of time on these sites.
