Why I Blog, by Andrew Sullivan
- charlesju 18y agoI don't know whether to be sad or intrigued, but I've just realized that this article is way too long. It's not that I don't like to read long format articles and books, but when I'm on the internet there is an objective to reading blogs and articles, and that objective is to ascertain useful opinions and information without the fluff. Anything that takes longer than a minute to read is too long for the average internet user.
- bbgm 18y agoI liked the article. When someone writes well, and makes a reasonable point, long form is just fine. Many are on the internet as their primary information consumption medium, and it's not just about byte sized chunks. That said, I wonder how someone like Macaulay would have fared in our short attention span era?
