Given the patterns of readership indicated by the statistics over the last year or so small articles may be better. Generally, most attention spans, and certainly time- The time available to respond to that which is writen- Are limited. It is certainly true that the 'Title' of a given piece is important, and that the content certainly should be related to that title. Most of these articles or submissions 'show up' on Google within an hour or so of publication, and are read, or not, within eight hours or less. And yet ...
The top seven of my ninety-eight or so submissions continue to pick up readership nearly two years later.
We have to ask ourselves a number of additional questions here, Such as, What is the primary goal, or purpose in our writing ? Why do we write ?
1 In the course of refining the previous article my pageviews increased five-fold within three hours of writing and submitting the article. Mind you, none of these submissions are complete. They are all 'Works-In-Progress'. Could it be that there is something to the overall concept of 'micro-blogging'?
