The problem is that I don't scan over each link in enough detail to see the title - the idea is that a list of links is enough work to scan over as is, to get to where I am trying to go. It's disorienting if there's no context. (Balance that against the discussion a while ago that pointed out things used like the headlines at http://www.theage.com.au give a list like ... Some exciting headline (goes to link 1) More... (goes to link 1) Different and even more catchy one (goes to link 2) More... (goes to link 2) ... which seems to give context in serial navigation as well as by visual scanning, even if not when the links are entirely alone.
