Excellent. You will prosper.

Although from now on, I'm going to call the practise of writing headlines like that 'clicksturbating'. In fact, we can start spreading that term now so it will become used in reference to Facebook's new stance!

We were actually trying to figure out how hard it would be to make a version of Hubski that automatically takes the titles of posts and restructures them into those horrid headlines that are all over facebook. Apparently, doing that is a really intense process - machine language learning or something? Whatever. I'll totally figure it out. It would be a shame to see that genius idea go to waste. I will do it and I will call it DUMBSKI.

The simplest physics formulae are often the results of the most profound life's work. Perhaps years of exquisitely delicate study will yield the fabled code to distill information into infuriating tweet droppings. There's an indie SciFi film plot in there somewhere, only the race against time will be to stop it getting out into the hands of social media marketing hexperts.
