What you did with your comment; spacing it out like that, did make it easier to read AND has that element of intrigue. Great idea.

You could be onto something. Technology is “suppose to” speed things up, thus we may be led to believe, like you said, we need to move faster while online.

Making ourselves aware of what we’re doing is probably the first step in slowing down so we can enjoy what we’re reading and not be thinking about what we’re missing.

I agree with this post 100% even the title is in line with the subject matter

that’s why i’m spacing my post lol

by making my content spaced out like this and more like bullet points has improved my responses online.

my opinion? technology speeds everything up and we subconsciously feel as though we have to move faster whether reading, typing, talking (geek lingo) or thinking

we feel as though why spend a lot of time on the site we’re on when the “next” site ill be the one we’re looking for as far as content

maybe we should write all of our pages and posts in shorthand and slang

just a thought ;-]

That’s a fabulous idea. Knowing we have readers that will scan our material, why not make it easy for them to do so. In the end, I think they appreciate it and are more apt to visit more often and possibly even become a “maximizer”.

For simplifiers, I optimize for scanning, take aways and quick up front value. For maximizers, I try to elaborate as needed but push that down versus front-load the posts.

What you said is very true. As bloggers we do need to think about our audience and what they expect from us. Some blog(ger)s can do extremely well with lengthy posts, whereas on this blog, shorter posts seem to resonate better with my readers.
