I'm signed up to an awful lot of RSS feeds; for copyrighting blogs, professional bloggers, humorous feeds, news feeds, feeds that give me game updates. All in all, I get around 30 new posts every hour or so (gotta love TechCrunch and their compulsive posting) so whenever I'm away from an Internet connection for a short while, I come back to find hundreds of new feeds that I have to read. Do I read them all? Of course I don't. But do you know which ones I always seem to stop and read?

Usually, it's the ones with pictures.

Childish as it may seem we're all attracted to pictures. I only really noticed the power of them a few days ago, when I spotted that whilst I was 'j-keying' through Google Reader with two hundred feeds to look through I was stopping at random articles that I thought interested me. And yes, most of them had images in.
