it's getting harder for publishers to write good headlines, since they
really want their headline to be the one that comes up when people
enter a search, but people put nouns in searches, not verbs, and the
journalism types were taught in school to write "action" headlines.

Heard Paul Jones talking about this. I'm probably not paraphrasing
terribly well.

Cheers,
