I always chuckle when the title of the article was obviously changed after first putting it online because the slug uses a different word:
"Tim Berners-Lee: we need to re-decentralise the web"
vs
"tim-berners-lee-reclaim-the-web"
- dkuntz2 13y agoThat doesn't imply the title was changed. Shorter slugs are nicer, and there could be some policy involved in keeping them short. It doesn't mean anything.
- aaronpk 13y ago"reclaim" vs "re-decentralise" The actual article never mentions the term "re-decentralise" at all.
- coldtea 13y agoStill it's standard practice. I've done it often for a few news sites I've managed content for. A word doesn't even have to be in TFA, just needs to sum it well enough.
