Yesterday I accidentally posted the Medium Black, home with the title blocked sites.
I noticed pretty quickly, and changed it. This really got the attention of people on Twitter: more people came to the site through Twitter than ever before.
So why was it so intriguing? The silverchair-style all-lower-case title? Was it that "blocked sites" sounded like a particularly racy topic? Or was it just because, for only the second time ever, I posted something with a title that wasn't just made up of what I drank and where I drank it?
Maybe it's time to change the titles around a bit. Latte, home doesn't sound interesting: I've posted that title on here hundreds of times. But if I'm having a latte at home and Changing a Lightbulb with a Robotic Meccano Arm, well that sounds a lot more worth reading.
Consider today's title an experiment. If more people read this one, I just might make the shift to interesting titles.
Also, please take the poll over to the right. Thank you.
