No Idea

After reading this, I must say that I have a lot of respect for not only what BuzzFeed is going after, but how they’re going about it. My favorite part is about respecting the readers. It’s amazing how many sites/publications fail to adhere to this simple and crucial principle.

To that end, BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti:

First of all, we don’t publish slideshows. Instead we publish scrollable lists so readers don’t have to click a million times and can easily scroll through a post. The primary reason to publish slideshows, as far as I can tell, is to juice page views and banner ad impressions.  Slideshows are super annoying and lists are awesome so we do lists!

I will stop reading a website and leave it entirely if the slideshow reloads the whole page. It is the most annoying thing. The only thing that changes is the photo but you have to reload the entire website? I do not understand that; at all

Health care should be a basic human right.

Health care, not health insurance; health care.

“If you honestly want something to happen then you just need to go out and do it.”

I think this is something I need to work on.

How does the Windows store spell disaster for Windows 8? Can I download and install apps and programs the way I have always been able to on Windows?

Short answer: Yes.

Cool idea.
