What I find fascinating about .....

There is a rhythm and worth to concentric conversations about a topic that aggregate tips, ideas, random thoughts to create a value.  The post on rating your songs on your iPod not only taught a few people a new lesson, it also gave chewybrain a chance to highlight how to manage all that content.  Easy way to "rate" content and delete in batches when you sync.

Loved their philosophy: "Computers make us more productive. Yeah, right.  Lifehacker recommends the downloads, web sites and shortcuts that actually save time.  Don't live to geek; geek to live."

So what is it about lifehacker that brings such energy to the table?  Did they show up to comment because it was useful information?  Felt like a conversation?
