30 Beautiful Web App Site Designs is no more meaningful than Beautiful Web App Site Designs, no new information or useful information is included in the number 30.
- brianlash 16y agoI think it does. The former tells us to expect a curated list of more than 29 but fewer than 31 eye-catching designs, at least in OPs eyes. The latter is just bleh, like a statement on a resume that reads "I managed a lot of money when I worked for a really huge company." Far more compelling is a line like "I oversaw a fund of more than $[Big Number] during my tenure as Investment Manager at [Company Name]." I think that's what's going on here. I'm not saying that makes it right in the eyes of PG or in terms of the guidelines. But IMHO those 2 characters tell us a lot about what to expect on the other side.
- brianlash 16y agoI knew that comment was asking for downvotes. I'm sorry, I just disagree. The number tells us to expect a list. That's information. Then it tells us that it's a long list, which in turn rules out the likelihood that it's one of those 3-point time wasters someone from Demand Media whipped together in the name of page views. More information still.
