More seriously, I do believe that the Web and blogs in particular are more addapted for short posts. Personnally I do no like to read long posts or documents on screen (that is why I keep buying newspaper even though 99% of the articles are free on their website).

To me, it then makes more sense to have short posts so people can check them quickly. But true, you then have the risk of being very superficial which is another great issue about internet: how reliable the info are ? how much of a waste of time is it to spend reading fun but ultimately useless stuff ?
