'Be economical in all things' is a principle of sustainability.
When we are blogging...
The first and most important Principle
of blogging is brevity.
Think Twitter.
The word wit is in the heart of Twitter btw. Also use links to
expand the dimensions of the conversation and limit word numbers.
'Be economical in all things' is a principle of sustainability. Be compassionate to the Reader who can only read SO much. :)

A caveat [note of warning] about the Twitter Flow. Some
folks seem to get enthralled by this constant tide and spend their
time and resources reacting to every little Twitch. This is bad news and bad
methodology. We must be guided by our own thinking not that of
twittish provocateurs - trolls. Calm
focused continuity is needed.
In this Information
Age we are all bombarded with vast amounts of swirling data. We
can and should ease the pressure on each other through the
application of a few simple principles that will carry us into the
heart of the Data Flow and out of the wind while creating an
atmosphere of mutual respect and trust through the careful use of
language.
We have some complex and important
discussions to traverse together and bulk will not help - it will hinder and defeat our purposes. Everything
seems to rest upon us Canadians for a hopeful future for and we
cannot afford to fail.
I happen to be visually impaired. I
was blind and my current visual abilities are a vast improvement thanks to medicare and surgery. BUT
long unbroken blocks of prose are a challenge for me.
The same is
true for most people online for various reasons - constraints of time, concentration and attention span, and the demands of
life present limits. So please keep your comments brief – at least with short
paragraphs and no more than six to ten of them – fewer if possible.
Be disciplined in your thought and
composition and we can ride the Data Flow to victory. Lol
Peace
