Most Annoying or Coolest?

It’s been almost a year since Clocky hit our radar. Then the floor. Under the bed. Across the room. And scared the cat. Yesterday seemed to be one of those days it was hard for the blogosphere to awake. Perhaps it was all the after-parties at SXSWi that left them with a little sleep in their eyes. First, we stumbled across the Top 10 Coolest Alarm Clocks on the Hip Tech Blog. Mere hours later we found (via Boing Boing) many of the same clocks were among the Top Ten Most Annoying Alarm Clocks at the Uber-Review. Bostonist isn’t quite sure what sets apart annoying from cool in the rubric. We do know that Clocky made both lists, and a year later has it’s own domain and a promotional/informational video shown here.
