Before I clicked on this I was thinking, numbered list, weve seen the topic before, how good can it be... And then I laughed so hard I hoped no one in my office walked by and saw me because they would think Im a crazy person.
My favorite was the honey-do list stuck in supplementals, and the ability to see what other honey-do lists are in there is taken away. Made me truly LOL.
The Mahalo comment made me laugh out loud - awesome.
Funny Matt!
Nice! The Mahalo comment made me literally LOL. Mostly because I could actually visualize it happening...
Yep, I did laugh out loud at the Mahalo one too :)
smells like linkbait ... cmon do a youtube of it happeneing ... I bet JC would even link to it if you did it right ...
Nice work
Matt, dude you rock, way, WAY, too much. Great and wonderful list.
Nice list! Like the others, I also laughed at the Mahalo comment and really liked the two about the chore list. Unfortunately my wife wouldnt understand the supplemental index and then she would probably punch me.
I am in denial Vanessa hasnt written any posts on the Zillow blog yet (that I can see) - they do need to fix that sidebar loading first thing.
Great list. I also LOLd at the Mahalo comment, like Jennifer said, more the visualization of punching a pretty wahine. My favorite was #19 though. Somehow I take it as a personal affront if I see a terrible campaign from one of the candidates. Thanks for the laugh this morning!
#19 hit a bit close to home for me too, Rhea. At this point I am leaning towards Obama or John McCain for no other reason than theyre the only ones I see ANYWHERE when I do political news searches.
Andy, I wrote one back when I first started, and I more recently wrote one for their other blog (although that doesnt contain any new information for anyone here, since its a recap of some posts I did on my own blog). I need to do more, but Ive been busy working! :) http://www.zillowblog.com/a-lot-can-happen-in-three-days-at-zillow/2007/07/ http://www.geekestateblog.com/the-power-of-search/
Yup, I definitely need a break. Good stuff, Matt.
Good stuff, Matt. #8 is my favorite!
thats funny.
#8 was classic. Great list...it was very hard not to laugh loud enough to draw attention from my co-workers.
That was great. I am going to have to be a follower and say that the Mahalo thing is what got me.
Loved it! Philipp Lenssen cracked me up, because I do know how to spell it. :)
It was really great. So hard to pick a favorite. Um, I like almost really did get my nearly 9 year old blogging because dammit if Stephans Spencers kid can make money.... But the chores in supplemental and ignoring lists I think were my favs. I never remember Philipps spelling. We need a rhyme or something, like two Ls and Ss are sweeter than one L. Or think LPPSS. LiPPSS?
Thanks for all the great comments, gang. Both this year and last year it has cracked me up to hear what peoples favorites are. I didnt expect the Mahalo line to be so well-liked. My favorite is the one about Linkin Park. I dunno why, I just remember that coming into my head a month or two ago and thinking, "Wow, thats a great one." Anyway, next years version is already in progress. :-)
Simply Awesome!
No11 did it for me. :)
Excellent job and the linkbait idea was good too.
Im not an SEO pro but hey, I dont want to get to the point that Im into this. Harhar!
Missed this entirely, then caught it thanks to crazycats comment. Its printed and on the office wall. On that note Im going upstairs to visit with my wife ....
I hate to admit it, but i made a snorting laugh noise to this. A few went over my head, but not enough to stop me looking insane infront of the office.Thanks Matt
:-)Thanks claires, Charlie, et al.....
Matt cutts for emergency contact!!
Matt,this one is awesome! Very funny!
Its an addiction!!
hey, this post is hilarious i feel totally identify with it... one more line could be you are in the underground and read a billboard that mentions any given keyphrase you have worked really hard on optimising lately eg: learn english online, so you innately get a 2 seconds mental illusion where the keyphrase/keyword is underlined and hyperlinked to your target page... : ) I get that one a lot... seo madness!
hahaha. Very Funny.
Sorry about sending this back to the frontpage, Im playing with the system at the moment.
Im not sure totally why, but people in SEO do live and breathe it...Oh, just booked myself on a break!
nice work
Do we not need a 2008 version now?
Very funny and well thought out!
