Earlier this week, there was a great guest post over at Spin Sucks on how long or short blog posts should be.

In 2007 I blogged on Kevin07 portal: We will see more of ‘static portal hybrid hosted social networks’ for a while – companies and government distancing themselves from the challenges of social networks by outsourcing to social network platforms. By the way quick question: have you ever had a politician respond on your blog with a comment?
