the original snub

I love the way daringfireball deals with links and sources. The headline link will always lead you to the linked article / page the post is about - quoted to get the gist, but wherever possible little enough to make it worthwhile to click the link.
The screenshot shows in the status bar where you go when you click on the title link. You don’t go to the permalink of the post, but to the article. You can also find the permalink, but that’s the little star next to it.
This is why I return to reading Gruber. No “skip this ad”, no pagination, immediate links to where I most probably want to go. I feel like a respected reader, not like ad fodder.
