A spelling error in the title is actually very easy to miss. You might read the main article an extra time before publishing, but the title is probably in a separate textfield which is not checked. It's always a bit painful to have a spelling error in the title, but don't make the assumption that the author just doesn't care enough.

Its a blog post... typically they are not proofed by an editor.

"Brains".
1. Spelling errors in the title of a blog post are a strong signal to me of how much effort an author put into a post. I realize its petty: Wade typed out tens of thousands of characters, why focus on one? But, still.
2. The disadvantage of this approach is that John Doe wearing a spokesman hat is going to give very different answers to questions than John Doe wearing a mentor hat. Often, the strongest insights are gleaned from the things people are most cautious about talking about.
