I read the linked article about cell phone manners and was quite dissapointed. It wasn’t even all about mobile phones.
I’m disappointed with the NYTimes. It’s like they are trying to play the Huffington Post SEO game. Really? A question in the title and a top 10 list?
Furthermore, here’s the “Most Emailed” section on the homepage:
1) How Little Sleep Can You Get Away With?
2) Is Sugar Toxic?
3) Distilling the Wisdom of C.E.O.’s
4) What’s the Single Best Exercise?
5) Is Sitting a Lethal Activity?
6) Chemicals Were Injected Into Wells, Report Says
7) Op-Ed Columnist : Atlas Without Angelina
8) Nicholas D. Kristof: The Power of Mockery
9) The Anti-Immigration Crusader
10) The Europe Issue: Paris: How to Shop in Paris
Four questions as titles, two “how to’s”, and a splash of sensationalism.
I will pay for your content, but not if your content isn’t at the high standards that I expect.
