Can you please please remove SumoMe? Or add a button which allows me to disable the stupid highlighting / clickjacking shit it does?

- danielweber 12y agoI wants me to do something but I can't tell what. Tweet things, maybe?
- keslert 12y agoThanks for the feedback guys. It is supposed to make tweeting easier, but apparently it's not doing a very good job (although it probably does make you want to tweet nasty things about me :) I'll look into a better solution.
- endersshadow 12y agoI find that many-a-web developers don't realize that people impulsively highlight sections as they read them. I usually triple-click to highlight a paragraph as I read it. It's just a habit, but it's apparently one I share with many people. This also frustrates me to no end on the NYT site, and it's the sole reason I'm not a subscriber.
- thatjoist 12y agoHighlighting text you're reading increases readability as it adds a visual clue to where on the page you are reading if you look away from the page. A lot of people pick up the habit without being taught it because of that.
- resu_nimda 12y agoYeah, and looking at the snippets that have supposedly been shared, they all appear to be accidental (unless someone actually wanted to tweet "ettling. The user wrote:"), leaving the rest of the readers with nonsensical highlighted sections and stars appearing in the middle of words. Seems to be generating more annoyance than value.
