I just read this article about a few WP plugins: http://www.designzzz.com/wordpress-plugins-fun-website-blog/ and found it interesting. The writer says fun is the magical word on the interwebz and yeah, just look at how clogged the net is with lolcats and other memes. But also, in trying times of economic woes, war, etc., people look for entertainment and escapism on the cheap anywhere they can find it. This was the case during the US Civil War, the Great Depression, and other periods before the web existed. I wonder if appropriate application of some of these plugins might address that, along with increasing time on site and decreasing bounce rate. Thoughts?
