I’m a sucker for top-10 lists. My favorite in this 2009 list is viral videos. It is interesting to witness changing technology reflected in such lists (i.e. videos and video sharing is not that old, while the concept of “viral” videos is even newer).
Don’t forget the one that got away – the major league baseball catch by a fan who gave the ball to his daughter only to see her promptly (appropriately?) toss it back on the field. MLB nixed (and missed) a major league pubic relations coup – that was so 2008.
