I'm starting to notice that a lot of conversations on FriendFeed around blogs are based on the actual headline -- many haven't read the blog content. Not sure if that is good or bad.

Should we recommend people start classifying themselves as "DNRTFA" or "RTFA" ? :)

Pretty sure it's bad. :-)

I try really hard to read an article before commenting. I may LIKE before reading, but I try not to comment. This actually happened to me on my "FriendFeed poser" article.. a lot of people replied angrily after reading the headline or maybe the first paragraph of the article.

@Ben Haha.

I've noticed it too, and it's bad

@J. Phil - I'm the same way. I'll like something in a way to "bookmark" it at times but will only comment about the content if I've read the content. Headlines are meant to draw in readers but don't necessarily represent all content.

We'll notice headlines of 140 characters soon everywhere.

not a good trend imo - especially with the election ramping up - lots of anger displayed over poor or no context

Another sign that our attention spans continue to dwindle to microseconds

@Mike that comment is too long for me to read. Could you summarize it?

sounds about normal to me... it's like people who have opinions on books they have never read...

That's been one of my biggest beef's with FF all along. People say, "scan for interest, read for content", but I think there's a little too much scanning going on. At least give us an option to show partial/full feed for content. Doesn't anyone remember the "content is king" days anymore?

Good one Ben!
