This looks like a really well-written blog, but the way it has [tweet] links scattered around everywhere REALLY puts me off. It comes off as extremely arrogant.

- zzzeek 16y agoI tweeted it. So he will certainly be notified.
- rwalling 16y agoYep, I'm reading this. The intent of the Tweet links is to remove the barrier to entry for people who want to quote pieces of the article. I've found that removing even a few seconds of work increases the chance that someone will think "hey, that's a cool quote to tweet."
- qq66 16y agoI think what our neighborhood SOB is saying is that it comes across as extremely arrogant to think that a random blog post of yours has 20 tweetable quotations.
- rwalling 16y agoYep, I got that part (btw - it has 6 tweetable quotes). I removed the links but given that it was an experiment I'm curious to hear what others think. Two people is a small fraction of the 5k or 6k who will read this post in the next 24 hours.
- tomjen3 16y agoYou might want to make that more explicit - I assumed that it was links to other peoples tweets to back up your claims. Great book by the way.
