conversation interrupted
The Atlantic.com has made a big mistake, in my opinion. They’ve decided to remove all personality and reader hooks from their blogger pages (except for Andrew Sullivan’s)and make them almost unreadable. I guess to ensure that casual passersby keep on… well, passing by. It’s not clear to me why they would want to do this.
I really like Ta-Nehisi Coates and James Fallows, but it’s their writing that draws me in – not their headlines or post titles. I might not even plan to stop and read, but (with the old format) invariably something will catch my eye and I’ll have to finish reading the entire article, and sometimes most of the comments. It is less likely I’ll read so many of the articles now that I have to click through to every post.
It’s annoying. They should just let blogs be blogs, sigh.
