Slideshows annoy me! Just show me the list!

1 06 2008

To capitalize on advertising revenue, the top publications have gone to slideshows to detail long lists of information people may be curious about like: “top places to retire” or “top places for your kids,” etc.  However, I just want to see the list.  I realize the publications need to make advertising dollars, but then why do they charge us subscriptions and make us pay at the airport or bookstore $5 or more bucks an issue?  Yes, yes, I realize they really depend on their advertising dollar…

Anyhoo, it bugs me enough that I just build the list myself and occasionally post them here.  For Businessweek’s latest list of “Best places to raise your kids” (on a budget), check out this post on one of my other sites.  Looks like the key phrase of “on a budget” excludes regular popular destinations like California, Washington state or otherwise.
