Comment on Wolfram Alpha: The Wikipedia Killerparent

Comments

Right. I was going after link bait titles as a guarantee of little content. The true killers are usually not apparent in the early stages. Was it obvious that Google was the AltaVista killer? AltaVista had the brand name, a big parent company, and lots of smart people. WA is interesting on its own without all the "killer" blogs.

I simply refuse to click on, and thus reward, obviously sensational idiotic linkbait titles. Hopefully, this behaviour spreads and will be the killer for the mass of them.
