Short pants Vs Long Posts.......

By
Real Estate Agent with Morris Williams Realty

 

Short Posts can be valuable..........I am married to living proof that good things come in small packages. The book, "Who Moved my Cheese" Is very powerful and can be read in 20-30 minutes. ....However...War & Peace is supposed to be good, but I will never have the patience to read it.

Recently I have seen some very short posts that are very helpful. Some are not as good. I saw one on how to pack boxes for moving...part one thru four, and each part was about a paragraph and contained such gems as: Place the heavier items in stronger boxes, and load them on the bottom of the truck.

I'm telling you, I could barely contain myself while I waited on the next segment, which went into detail about stranded versus unstranded packing tape.

So Today I see a Post that advocates minimum words in  a post to gather the 200 points. Here is my Reply, and I don't care if someone flags this one...i have had a few stupid things happen this week already, so losing 200 freakin points is not really at the top of my priority list right now.

Ps...Did every one else know they can clear aa check and then pull the funds out later that day...Oh yes...The beauty of sweep accounts .. & Whiskey...You know, whiskey , it's not just for breakfast anymore.

I have seen post with just a thought..and it gathers commentss.....i have seen posts that go on for screen after screen...and they get squat...sooo...I just put out a post yesterday that had Exactly 6 words including the title...it has got about 20 comments..**** Romney resigns... Now I AM mad...*****that was it.. the post, the title, the thatsss alll folksss

Some other valuable pearls that have only a few words, yet they shape the world many of us live by

  1. If It Is To Be Its Up To Me
  2. Do Unto Others as You Would Have Them Do Unto You
  3. THou Shalt Not Kill
  4. Helmet Laws Suck
  5. Love The One you"re With
  6. Where's The Beef
  7. Elvis Has Left the Building
  8. Hey Bubba...Watch This
  9. You Can't Have It Your Way Here Either
  10. I Am The Walrus, Hu cu che coo, hu cu chee coo

I love the "watch this" one. It is usually followed by something funny.

Mike, Sometimes very good things come in small packages. For me it's the message not the length that's important. I actually prefer shorter posts when I am reading but for some reason can't seem to write a short one.

Hello BB.....Good things do come in small packages....We get a lot done sometimes with short conversations, to the point, and on topic...

I have read most of your posts I think...they are all in all, about perfect...now about the AR point system....

This is odd, this is showing as a new post, but anyway, I think that people will get out what they put into something.  If their blog is full of one liners, will it really connect with the reader?
