#2Oh man -- he got the title of the magazine wrong! It's Forbes, not Fortune.
Anybody care to edit the title of the HN submission for accuracy?

TFA has the title wrong as well - changing the title on HN won't really change much.

#5Shows who is more interested in intellectually stimulative journalism (honestly, I found that tidbit a honeypot -- other parts of the article are far more interesting)

#8Can 600k page views really make a writers career? Is that how they measure success in online writing?

#9The title was better for Forbes, but the article length was more relevant I think. Forbes article was two short pages while the NY Times was 7 long pages. I have half a dozen long NY Times articles bookmarked to read later. I don't know if I'll ever get around to it.

#10It's definitely relevant here on HN -- a good article with a bad title probably won't go anywhere. A good article with a great title will stay on the front page for hours.
