Hi there, I'm Scott Lamb, of Brooklyn, New York. This is my Tumblr tumble log blog. Thank you. I work at BuzzFeed, where I find things online.

January 7 2012

This is a single page article that could have been done with two sets of bulletpoints, one listing the ten cities with the highest unemployment in the US, the other listing those with the lowest. But the Huffington Post craptastially turns it into this unnecessary slideshow because that generates plenty of page views.

Enough With The Slideshow Pollution & This Means You, Huffington Post (via felixsalmon)

Does anyone like slideshows? Pageviews are increasingly useless from an advertiser perspective, readers (as this shows) find them to be a drag, and they’re no good for mobile. I can’t believe that editors love them; what gives?
