Valleywag a valley tech gossip rag is silly, stupid fun. While reading serious tech-related pieces all week it’s nice to blend in a little humor here and there.
I noticed this last week a number of Beatlesq titles following the story about them opening up their libary (soon finally) to legal online download stores. My favorite of which I mentioned on the last Hmmcast (you listened, didn’t, you?), but didn’t remember the exact title (doh!). Turns out it was Yesterday, Beatles Downloads Seemed So Far Away by Techdirt. Valleywag noticed the same brief trend and thinks there wasn’t enough headline creativity and seeks to add a few of their own:
Could we get a little more original, dig into the better Beatles titles? Such as:* Got to get you into my pod
* Back in the AAC
* Being for the benefit of Mr. Starr
* Now you can buy me love
* Yoko in the sky with royalties
The Yoko Ono blast made me chuckle. I like catchy headlines that actually have something to do with the story. Fellow blogger readers, spend a few minutes thinking up some creative titles, it can get you some additional mileage.
