The Devil is in The Details - But so is The Click
by Patricia Mayo
I don’t like link lists. In fact, I downright hate ‘em. Whenever I see “Del.icio.us Links for 4-19-08″ I just keep on scrolling. Why?

Don’t you feel like you’re being screamed at? “Look at me, look at me! I’m clickable, you should click! Yes, yes… click! Click now!” Yeah, big deal. Just because I can doesn’t mean I should.
The only reason I am productive - and stay productive - is being picky about what gets my attention. 80% of headlines don’t say enough, and 99% of blog titles don’t say enough. I need more.
Maki over at DoshDosh has the right idea and gives a bit of context. Call me anal retentive, but that’s what I like to see. What about you?
