When a Click Isn't Just a Click

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 16:19:05 +0100

I've noticed a trend on Twitter lately where folks post an article link that supposedly drives readers to an article but the link actually drives readers through a Facebook page that only displays the article "teaser"and where the reader finally accesses a link to the article in question.
