Overheard at SXSWi
Liz Henry from BlogHer describes how to hide content on the Internet: “Obscurity through verbosity”
I think this also explains the reason why many academic websites have trouble finding readers.
“Obscurity through verbosity”
Now THAT would make a great button!
It also explains why most academic writing in general is useless for anything other than impressing other academics. See also, how to deconstruct almost anything and, to a slightly lesser extent, the Alan Sokal Social Text Debacle.
Lovely turn of phrase, though.
