My 5 cents: today I've submitted this [0] post, its title was "Valve is planning to use Blender as a game modding tool in Steam". Then it was renamed by somebody to "Steam-powered Blender" which resulted a bunch of title related comments like:
> You know, with a link title like that, I was really hoping to see a food processor powered by a steam engine.
>> That's HN for you. You're never quite sure whether it's programming related or not.
>> Same. I was expecting something along the lines of the pulse jet powered tea kettle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fDM9Eb16Do http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fDM9Eb16Do

- jack-r-abbit 13y agoHaha... I clicked on that "Steam-powered Blender" link thinking the same thing. If I'd known it was about Valve's Steam (which I have no interest in) and about Blender (which I have no idea what it is) I never would have clicked.

- darkstar999 13y agoWow. That's a bad title. The rule doesn't make sense when the submitted title is accurate and nonsensational.
- freyr 13y agoMy eyes flicked across the word "Steam." I assumed it referred to Valve's Steam, and my interest was piqued. Then my eyes settled on the word "Blender," and my interest grew stronger as I thought about 3D modeling. Then my brain ingested the complete phrase, "Steam-powered Blender," I figured it was steam-punk related, and I moved on, slightly disappointed. Awful title.
