Brevity? Impersonal? Isn't he writing in what is essentially a magazine blog? This is HIS job....not to write 140 character comments on twitter. Hasn't he basically just said what he was doing with that very article was useless? Hilarious. You can't formulate an argument or coherent opinion in 140 characters, and sometimes you write things that aren't related to a flickr photo or a youtube video. I think you're right, vero. He's missed what the essence of blog writing is.... it's not about being on page one of google or the top 100 on technorati. Great blog post!
