Just a quick rant, maybe not even a rant, but 70% of the time I'm reading my email and browsing the web via a touch screen device now. The words "Click Here" should no longer be used for website or email links. They just are simply not relevent to an increasingly larger audience especially now with the rise of Slate/Pad devices. Also, writing "Touch Here" just sounds creepy so displaying a different webpage to those on touch devices does not help.
I'm not sure what people should use in place of the words "Click Here" now days, but I suggest just giving the wording some more thought from now on. If your website or email has any chance of being read by someone on a touch device, which it more than likely does, then these words just make it feel cheap.
