One of the things I have found annoying, and I’m curious how many of you do as well, is the infrequency of web sites dating articles.

Doing research on a random topic will produce several articles that lack any obvious publication date.  Without the publication date it is hard to tell the contextual economic environment and timliness of the information contained in that article.  “the article says to buy Cisco stock because it’s worth $50″ but CSCO hasn’t been at $50 since the Tech Wreck.
Many web blog platforms automatically date stamp posts.  Where I seem to find more of the date lapses, and why I noticed it, are in articles at the big daily news  or monthly magazine sites.  It’s almost as if the professional journalists never had a habit of dating their work because they are always on the next deadline and the newspaper or magazine just automatically prints the date on the page or front cover.
So I’m curious,  how many readers also experience this problem?

Cheers!
