I wish I could remember the headline of the article my boss posted tonight. I no longer have access to it because I unfriended him. Coming on Facebook and posting something along the lines of making a comment like “This is a really well written article with many good points.” and the title of the […]

Badgination
Badgination is the tactic of exposing a controversial headline to a user to instil a view upon them. The headline is either descriptive enough for a user to conclude the headline shall be take as truth or is click bait. When landing on the click bait site, the user quickly abandons reading to completion due […]
Beware of Badgination
After 7 or so years as a Web Developer, I explored the idea of being a marketer. I have always had great respect for “Marketing Guys”. Even though calling them that is a huge insult (they typically are the most conscious of job titles and seemingly hold titles in high esteem) I think it is […]
