Thanks for mentioning screen readers...I've been too busy to respond over the last few days while this discussion has been waxing on, but that's been in my mind all along. You *can* label the links in the markup, but link labels are not the best experience. We've talked about doing something like Read more about blah-blah-blah where only the topic blah-blah-blah is linked for the link list. In practice, though, we've linked the full thing, since the 'more' is actually instructive: see http://eresearch.fidelity.com/eresearch/goto/markets_sectors/landing.jht ml?bar=c Screen reader and SE-friendly, as Adrian said... ( note -- I don't love "Full Story" as a link on this page...that feels wrong...) -----Original Message----- From: ACM SIGCHI WWW Human Factors (Open Discussion) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adrian Howard Sent: Friday, June 15, 2007 5:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Learn more, Read more, More On 14 Jun 2007, at 14:31, Wendy M.

People often browse through the links so all you hear is a whole series of "read more... read more... read more..." :-) Also - from a more mercantile perspective - more descriptive text helps with SEO too.
