The short form, information in chunks, is good also because it forces the author to make a point per post. In a long blog post or book, authors might get lazy and ramble on and not come to a defined point. But if it is multiple short tweets, they do have to think about the subject enough to get to a point. A good author should be doing this for each paragraph in a long peace, but it is easier to meander, or loose the thread. (edit: I mean 'good' only as a 'practiced' writer, as post points out, some 'good' writers just work better in different formats, it doesn't mean they are 'bad').
Also. Very glad this was included. I had read it a long time ago and was pretty amazed, but couldn't remember enough to search for it.
So -> Thank You Foone. This was a good post.
