Cats. Cats cats, cat; cat cat cat "cat." There. That should get the search engines's attention. So, cats + Christmas:

DOGS When The Internet Kidnaps Your Dog says the headline. At the risk of spoiling what it's about, the internet did not kidnap anyone's dog. But read it anyway. The other side of the dog-possession issue seems to be unduly mulish.

TECH Atlantic mag piece on the problems with email. Pick the word or phrase you'd use for a headline, keeping in mind that we are all under an obligation to exaggerate and water down potent words:

ISIS is evil. Stalin was evil. Email is annoying. There's a reason Slack is so popular: it replaces email with something that doesn't have to be dismissed or trashed or rescued from junk. It doesn't pile up. Email isn't going away anytime soon - as I wrote those six words I got two - but eventually it will be regarded as declasse. The first email, BTW, was a Daily Deal from a company. I bought something online the other day. To them this means "he wants to learn about products unrelated to what he bought, and he wants to learn about them every damned day." So off to the unsubscribe page, where there's an option to get them once a week. You're almost tempted to go for once-a-week, like you're reconciling with someone, but then your spine stiffens. No. You had your chance, and you bothered me every day. Sorry. The other email was from Target Cartwheel. Subject line: "up to 40% off string lights." Hmm. That could be useful. Go to the page; the deal says "30% off."

That last point should make web designers salivate; no more big fat GIFs. But there are, of course, problems. More here.
