Farewell 2010: A Look Back At Our Most Popular Stories

Happy 2011, dear readers! If you’re starting 2011 bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, some of these stories may look familiar. If you indulged in too much champagne or Adult Chocolate Milk and are more bloodshot and limp, well you’ll probably be sleeping in today but we hope some of these look familiar to you tomorrow.

As we go into the new year, we wanted to take a second to look back on our top 50 stories of 2010. Unsurprisingly, our most popular story continues to be our very style-centric ranking of fashion blogs, but lots of you were looking at tech, food and general lifestyle stories as well.

A personal thanks for that. While they may seem unrelated, I started Signature9 because I felt that trends in one area inevitably overlap with those in others. Seeing that readers are as interested in smartphones and food as they are in style, as interested in business trends as they are in pop culture and consumer trends is a validation of that.
