Quite a Headline
February 7, 2009
The headline is not about search, but I want to highlight the dangers of headlines in my newsreader. I look at the words and think about them. Some headline writers don’t. I was scanning Newsnow.co.uk and spotted this sequence of words:
Windows 7 Version Strategy Simplifies, Confuses Gartner Group 23:01 5-Feb-09
Azure chip consultants are often confused in my experience. Simplification is one way to avoid knowing much about what’s under the hood. To see the assertion in Newsnow.co.uk was enervating for this addled goose.
