Everybody wants to be the authority on what's popular on the Internet. In fact, many companies are trying to make money off of it. Maybe compiling a list of lists is a good place to start.

Some interesting buzz wrap-ups from the Times: The Growing Web and For Your Information; and from Yahoo and Google (discussed, in turn, by The Global and Mail). (Maybe I should just make a blog for this breaking buzz news, huh?).
