Mongoose is the internal name of our new hybrid list article. It's a list, but it's also an article, and we don't have a marketable name for it yet.
As you assemble each list, please think about Calvin. How could this list be interesting for a business owner? If you are writing about a group of websites from the consumer point of view, what useful things could you point out to a business owner about sites that you think are really doing it right?
One good example is These Websites Aren't as Dirty as They Sound. It's funny and meant to amuse, but there's a serious message in this list and paragraph -- Be careful when you choose your domain name. It's a simple message and the examples illustrate it well. Many lists that are assembled out of enthusiasm for a topic can also be similarly focused. Remember, oftentimes the websites you are putting on the list are created to make money, generate traffic, or serve some other business purpose. So it's not far-fetched to think about Calvin when assembling even the most personal list.
