Dave,
I'll be following up with you for GJ after this next edition is out!
:)
On a more serious note, I think both arguments are valid - I think
longer form articles and short form (twitter, etc) both have their
uses - I would love to see a volunteer step up and help manage and run
one of them. I think all outreach is good, especially with a good
plan and goal behind it.
Paul

Hi,

The attention span of general people are very low.
Thats the reason why Twitter is 160 characters max, the facebook
messages are short, most of the Blogs contain a "read more" button with
90% of the post, youtube does not allow large video's for regular users
etc etc.
At this stage, I have to ask: is this "stop energy" (i.e. "I don't think
you should waste your time doing this") or a proposal to spend more time
with a micro-communication strategy (Twitter, Facebook & daily links
type stuff)?
I really like the longer articles, and it's the kind of thing I'd like
to see more in the GNOME Journal - and I'd even volunteer to write one
or two, and encourage others to do the same - but I don't want to spend
time arguing about whether it's useful or not.
Cheers,
Dave.
