Blogs have fueled the growth of peer-to-peer information flow in form of news, knowledge packets, ideas and individual point-of-views. However it has also resulted in "Information overload" which drives a normal person nut as he is at risk to wasting too much time reading the flesh before he reaches the crust.
Learning becomes more difficult as we face a situation where we have less time and most if it is wasted while absorbing the excess information and then an equal amount of effort (if not more) is required to skim the real message out of it.
A hot debate is going on at – http://guydz.com/moneypowerwisdom/?p=19
I personally think:
A summary can solve all the problem. There are people who understand the concept in few words. They hate to read through long articles to get that “dosage” of knowledge.
However, there are lots of people who might have difficulty in understanding the concept. There may be several people who might not accept a point of view unless backed with examples from real life.
Therefore both formats are required in my opinion.
Now the question is – On a media like blog, do we have enough time to summarize the ideas that we put together?
What do you think?

I would say it is on a ‘lower attention’ medium like a blog that we as
bloggers MUST spend more time to make our posts concise, yet
informative and complete.
Of course, linking to a longer version for those with more time or
interest is a good idea, and covers all angles.
All success

You should give the summary and key-learning-point and then point to the detailed note. If I can get it, great or else I have the big note to fall back upon 🙂
