I really like your post, I commented it http://danieltenner.com/posts/0005-starting-up-with-a-friend... . But even then, I'd say that I read 80% of it (most time, I read less than 50%). I just said to myself why not cut the post to have a shorter one that people will enjoy a moment. Turned out I was (maybe) wrong. I'll definitely give it another try though...
As a counter-example, I tried to be brief as well in another post on there (http://danieltenner.com/posts/0003-impossible-is-a-step.html) and that one didn't work out very well - when I asked people why they didn't like it, they said it was too short and lacked substance/examples.
I'm a big fan of keeping things as brief as possible, but from what I can tell it's not the best format for the web. I've only seen it work for people who have huge followings already (e.g. seth godin). Even there, most of their posts don't take off...
I could be wrong of course! Good luck to both of us :-)
