With so much information constantly at our fingertips, it's become more and more common for links to be accompanied by "link bait".
Also known as click baiting, link baiting is phrasing a title in a way that makes you immediately want to click on the link.
While some sites like Upworthy are especially known for this tactic, almost all content-producing websites try to make the titles they choose as "link baiting" as possible.
Introducing #LinkBaitBible, a Twitter hashtag game based on imagining the sort of click baiting headlines that would be used if events that happened in the Bible were reported online today.
Started by radio presenter, journalist and comedian Warren Robertson, South Africans are loving #LinkBaitBible, which has the potential to keep Twitter entertained for hours.
