Too much information


Lois Lindell has been blogging quite a bit about about Micro-Blogging. I've been reading a number of micro-blogs and some of them are really good, but most of them don't seem to say very much. If I'm going to take the time to read something, I want it to challenge me or move me in some way. As is probably obvious, I have trouble being that brief. The flip side is a blog that is too long or gives me more information than I have time or motivation to try and digest. A blogger that I really enjoy most of the time is Karl Kapp. Lately, though he's been writing blogs that are full of links to other blogs. I'm sure they are all very good. But just looking at the list turns me away. It seems to me that it would be better to briefly summarize the information or just give one or two links that are especially good. I respond best to an article that is short and to the point. When I see too much information, I usually click away thinking that maybe I'll return when I have more time...but, I rarely do.
