I agree with the above. Video does nothing for me. Rarely do I ever click on them. Videos are frowned upon while at work, they are too slow and unwatchable on slow connections. Even sitting here at home today, I didn’t watch them. Not interested enough to take the time to watch a video, but would at least skim it if written. And there is nothing more annoying than having to click on a link to read the rest of the article. Generally won’t do that either; the article has to be really good to entice me to do so.

Hey Nigel: It’s so we can fit more in the main page and users can scroll through to check out the various headers to see what interests them. We will look at this tho….maybe it’s too cumbersome for readers. Stay tuned! As you know, we are still working out kinks and value this sort of feedback.

Tell me again why I have to click a button to read the second half of every article.

It makes no sense.

Sorry for the duplication, but it took me a few minutes of fumbling to realize that comments are associated with each post. I thought there was a single comment area at the end so I scrolled down and left my first post God-knows-where…

I’m no stranger to playing the contrarian, although I notice it happening with increasing frequency the older I get. Am I getting more comfortable expressing my opinion, or am I just getting crotchety? Tough call. Anyhow, I have to disagree with your statement that “Frequent travelers clearly prefer online video as a way to get their news…” Not only do I generally despise watching video in a web browser (or on any iDevice), but I do a lot of my catching up on newsletters and such by caching them in my browser and then reading them on the airplane — where streaming video isn’t an option (inflight WiFi notwithstanding, which I wouldn’t use for watching video regardless per the above rant). Thus, a video-oriented newsletter is of much less interest to this frequent traveler. I rather suspect I occupy a lonely niche, though, based on trends driven by the Ritalin set.
