But it works, not just the headline, but the condensed information. The Forbes article is 2 pages long in large font, the NYT article is 9 pages in a much smaller font. There's something to be said for providing useful info in a short form.

- rcthompson 15y agoMentioning the font size here is like declaring the units used to measure something (e.g. inches). It's not a complaint about the font size being wrong.
- dannysanchez 15y agoWhen folks link to a regurgitated version of an original piece of journalism, they are rewarding someone for doing a lazy copy/paste job rather than the person who took weeks (if not more) to produce original information. The Forbes article doesn't even add much insight to the discussion and takes such a substantial portion of the article that it removes a great deal of the incentive to click through.
- HeyLaughingBoy 15y agoPerhaps. But more people are likely to read the 2-page article than the 9-page one. And if the point is to communicate "business knows more about you than you think they do" then they've done the job.
