I can't read blog posts that are lengthy. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's the same reason I can't read legalese. Short sentences are perfect for the 'click happy folks' like me. More than that... I'm stumblin'... sorry...
Don't get me wrong, I love intellectualism, but it simply has no real place in the blogoshpere, unless of course that is what you are creating.
It goes the same with email. {not spam, in re last post} Three paragraph emails are ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.
But... not as ridiculous as the email I got today. It was sent to TENS of Thousands of professionals and it had words and links that were font-faced as such- (and I'm not kidding):
Lorem ipsum ergot sum cum laude http://www2.roman.caesar.et.tu.brutei.com/_utm_eleagre.eeet.ii./an/and when you click there call, me, talk we should.
Really? I mean, I'm not a typesetter, but you have to be kidding me? Should we take this seriously in todays world?
Have you not heard of the pretty-link? or not using Comic Sans anymore, unless, of course you are writing a comic?
Oh my... what do I know, anyway... at least I got a good laugh.
