farber

 

First, the trivial – the title, “1999 Resources for dan farber” read to me as if it said, “Resources for Dan Farber from 1999″.  I read 1999 as a year, not as a total.

Easy to fix: “1,999 Resources for dan farber”.   The comma make it read differently.

OK, done with the trivial.  Now the thing that makes me scratch my head.

I was interested enough in Dan Farber to see all of the content he has created for ZDNet – don’t you think I might also be interested in subscribing to a feed of this list of content?  Wouldn’t that be an obvious thing to do on this page?

If they has a big orange RSS logo on this page I would have subscribed.  Maybe now that Dan is a big-wig at ZDNet he can change this.

It should be easy for people to “eat” your information.
