Thanks to everyone who took the time to visit Web Watch in 2011. For those of you who haven’t been able to visit every day, let’s take a look at what you did come and see while you were here:
The top ten most viewed Web Watch articles for 2011 were:

Holy crap. Watch this.
We all watch a little bit of trashy Reality TV. In part because we marvel at the extravagant homes and lifestyles these people live.
Who wouldn’t want to be them – sans camera crews – for just a day or two?
Who would want to live in one of those absolutely gorgeous homes? Well, it turns out that you can, as many of them are available for sale or rent to anyone willing to pony up some cash.
Thanks for visiting Web Watch this past year. We thought we’d take a quick look at how 2010 has gone, and share some details on what our visitors were most interested in reading before we dive into 2011:
Over 1,500 young adults (age 21-26) in America were recently asked about WHAT THEY EXPECTED TO HAVE HAPPEN BY THE YEAR 2050.
40% of those surveyed said that they expect the second coming of Jesus to occur by 2050.
On the other hand, 31% said that they believe an asteroid will destroy the Earth in the same timeframe.
Some of the other items on the survey include:
Esquire’s A Man’s Guide to Life: The Rules
Esquire’s book, A MAN’S GUIDE TO LIFE is just like THE MODERN MAN’S GUIDE TO LIFE or Denis Boyle‘s A MAN’S LIFE: THE COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS – books filled with rules and helpful instructions to let any man prove that he is, in fact, A Man. Web Watch highly recommends offering any of these three books to graduating high school seniors (or even as bar mitzvah gifts, since that is when A Boy Becomes a Man).
Earlier this month, Web Watch posted about parodies of the Discovery Channel’s BOOM DE YA DA commercial.
How could we not include THIS TRIBUTE TO WEB COMIC xkcd featuring online favs like Cory Doctorow and Wil Wheaton, which was based on THIS xkcd cartoon, based on the Discovery Channel commercial (shown below). Whew!
In a previous post, Web Watch mentioned how GAME THEORY plays an important part in the reality TV show SURVIVOR.
The key to understanding what that means is to know what GAME THEORY is all about. Luckily, Web Watch has found a way to boil it down into some bite-sized chunks for our faithful Web Watch readers.
