Reflecting on a decade

I love, love, love the opportunities landmarks in time provide the media for reflective discussions and top 10 lists. So as we look back on the nameless first decade of the new millennium, I can't get enough of the media frenzy that is the Decade in Review.

So far, my favorite is Newsweek 2010 an entire mini-site dedicated to reflective slide-shows, top tens and essays. The best part is they asked newsmakers in various fields to contribute. Blurbs for top 10 lists such as Most Important Dates, Accidental Celebrities and Internet Memes are written by people who played key roles in the news. It covers topics from 9/11 to LOLCats. Here are a few:

• Rick Astley on Rick Rolling
• John Kerry on Kerry choosing a then unknown Barack Obama to give the DNC keynote in 2004
• Kim Kardashian on Twitter
• Fake Steve Jobs (twitterer) on the predictions that the iPod would flop
• The Stranger's Dan Savage on Larry Craig's Wide Stance

So take a moment (or several hours) of web wandering and enjoy the chance to reflect on the decade.
