What makes this NSFW?
- chrisbroadfoot 16y agoMaybe because the article is so boring and irrelevant to anyone's daily work? But seriously, is this just a link-bait title because the author gets paid per page impressions?!
- kyro 16y agoNo. It's just a tag he uses to label his weekend pieces.
- mahmud 16y agoThe marketer in me thinks the tag actually gets better click-through than untagged (SFW) articles. A bit "meta" and ironic, like how certain rock bands used to call themselves suggestive names to lure people into venues.

- thomasswift 16y agoI think most Paul Carr articles on techcrunch usually start out "NSFW:" mainly because most of the time they are, this just happen to be on the lighter side of things.
- thejo 16y agoNSFW is the name of the weekly column by Paul Carr.
- edanm 16y agoNSFW is the name of Paul Carr's column. It's meaning is not that the contents are not safe for work - it means that Paul Carr himself is "not safe for work", having been fired from every job he's ever had. Amazes me that on every single one of his articles, the top-voted comment is always "why is this NSFW????" By the way, if you haven't read it, Paul Carr's book is really quite excellent, especially for budding entrepreneurs; I highly recommend you check it out.
- stuhacking 16y agoI always open links in background tabs and since the first four letters of the tab were "NSFW" I'm inclined to close it immediately. So, at least for the folks who don't subscribe to every hip, new, social media blog, these comments are useful.
