p2pnet news view | P2P:- It’s almost 2009 and I figured I’d have a look back at p2pnet’s Top Ten stories for the year that’s almost gone.

But before we get to it, a small digression:

For quite a while we ran fairly regular what can only be called ‘celebrity’ stories. The idea is/was to get new people to the site to expose them to thoughts and issues they might not have come across elsewhere.

This upset a few regular readers but the proof of the pudding is, as they say, in the eating and the most read items by far were, and still are, posts on Vanessa Hudgens, Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, the Audiomnaxxx debacle and Oh Yeh, Barney the Revolting Purple Dinosaur.

So although I slacked off on these kinds of stories toward the end of the year ………………..

Back to the Top Ten, the most popular posts according to number of reads is below. Below those are the Top Ten, sans Vanessa, et al.
