Death to "click here"!

Nathan Ashby-Kuhlman has written a passionate blog about the pointlessness of click here links. Taking a usability stand, he highlights that eliminating needless words is always worthwhile. To quote:

Television stations do not tell viewers how to operate their remote controls. Newspapers do not instruct readers in removing papers from delivery bags. It’s time news Web sites stopped telling readers how to operate links.
