A special thanks to Rex Sorgatz for letting us use his idea. Be sure to check out his list of "best of" 2009 lists.
Hi folks, I'm Jenni Leder and I'll be heading up The Noughtie List. It's basically a list of all the "best ofs" from the 2000s. It's a work in progress so I would love to get your input on what should go on the list. I'll also be doing a weekly post highlighting the best of the "best ofs" that are on the list, as well as keep you all updated on any new developments.
The list currently includes 377 items; new additions are marked with a **.
