The latest, ://URLFAN (thanks Randy Charles Morin) ranks sites based on the number of links found in thousands of RSS feeds (285,050 as of this writing). They don’t say how they picked which feeds to count. Perhaps they’re scanning all they can find. This domain (chipstips.com) isn’t ranked yet, although they did detect one link (thank you TDavid).

One reason I prefer sitting at home to even going to the game is the view. Cinema-sized screen in 3D would lend so much more weight to telling the umpire to get some glasses. Imagine being able to see up close in 3D how Moyer paints the corner, or to watch one of Hernandez's fastballs smoking right by you (enjoyed watching a few of those yesterday on the plasma, BTW). Maybe they could get creative with the audio and make you hear that fastball smacking the catcher's glove just behind you (along with the ump wailing out the STRIKE). Definitely promising. And I'm with you that the theaters need to do something creative. Right now they don't compete with my home system on quality, availability, ambiance, beverages, extra-curricular activities, or cost.
