10 Things Music

What do Nickelback, John Mayer, and DMB all have in common?

Everyone has a MOST PLAYED or FAVORITE iTunes playlist that you listen to on a regular basis. Heck, that’s what the music industry is all about — getting you to buy (and play) your favorites over and over again.

It doesn’t matter how you listen — local radio, Pandora, your iPod — as long as you listen.  Nobody wants to hear crap music.

Then again, what’s crap to you is music gold for someone else.  Not everyone loves opera singing or country music, but there are opera and country fans out there.

25 Rules for Dads Raising Daughters

Apparently, it’s that generational time again.

Web Watch knows a large number of women who are pregnant, or couples that just have had their first child in the past year or so.  Maybe we’re just hanging out with people who happen to be of a particular “let’s have children” age in their lives right now.

We get it — having kids is usually something that’s carefully planned out and organized, and only rarely is caused by the random double-pairing of a dirty martini and a late night movie.

The Top Ten Most-Stolen Hotel Items

Stealing things from hotels can be a compulsion for some.

Sometimes, it’s the principle of the taking.  When a luxury hotel charges you $400 (or more) a night for a suite, you sometimes feel obligated to take advantage of as much of the freebies as you can grab.

This one thing causes 15% of all child emergency room visits

Going to the HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM is never a good time.

There’s no good food, the chairs are uncomfortable, there are germs everywhere… the hospital is not the place that you want to go to if you don’t already have a reason to be there.

So in the guise of helping parents, researchers at the NATIONWIDE CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL IN COLUMBUS, OHIO went through thousands of child emergency room records from 2001 to 2009 to see if there were any trends in PREVENTABLE EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS that could be discovered through the data.

The theory is that if parents were aware of why children were going to the emergency room, maybe they could be more aware of those situations and prevent them from occuring in the first place.

Top 12 Trendiest Baby Names of All Time

Baby names are very important to get right.

Web Watch has heard parents struggle with getting the name of their offspring exactly right, that the monogram isn’t weird, or that they aren’t going to subject their kids to unmerciless teasing because their name just happens to rhyme with “fart”.

Kids can be cruel, but parents can be unintentionally cruel as well.

The Five Most Visited Websites

How many websites do you visit in a day?  Week?  Month?

We know, just from you reading this today, that you visit at least one website that we know about.  And chances are, you got here after visiting a search engine or a link from another site.

And it’s really hard to guess what the LEAST VISITED WEBSITE IN THE WORLD is, because there are any number of purchased domains that some bloke is using for their own personal storage space rather than serving a public service.  For every website that you may have heard of, there are likely thousands that are only known about by the person who purchased the domain name.
