Rubel was late to Twitter, and glommed onto it because of others. He's not an early adopter, but a bandwagoner. And, you have to really ask if the strategy change is because of his choice, or others. Stop over thinking this shit - what value is there? Jump in, go early, and then see what it does for work / corporations. But, then again, that doesn't seem to do much for individuals.

Maybe a good post title should summarize for mobile reading. Dennis E. It's not all consumed on mobile, I still use my browser 95% of the time on my laptop. Chris, interesting concept.

It's like the "mobile web" with it's wap pages which are now technically unnecessary but have a great benefit because the are formated well for mobile devices. As for how much or how little to blog: how little can you blog so that your blog still has enough qualified content?

As for how much or how little to blog: how little can you blog so that your blog still has enough qualified content?

I don't have an iphone nor do I use a blackberry, so I'm limited as to how much content I really can see. Since I've been using my mobile device a lot now, its definitely a good thing to keep in mind. Perhaps feedburner can offer two different types of feeds (one regular and one for mobile devices)? Or perhaps you might consider summarizing your blog post first then provide the full content? This will let your readers know right away if your blog post is relevant to them before they scroll down millions of times. Micro blogging...blogging for specific members of your audience--now its not just about what you say its also about HOW you say it. I'm sure the battle between how much and how little to blog will always be there, but at some point there has to be some sort of overlap. -Chris Very interesting…and Yes the way people blog definitely affects what I read on my mobile device.
