I just read a very good article by Jakob Nielsen on proper writing for weblogs. His opinion is that blogs (most notably, business blogs) should focus more on in-depth articles rather than short, post-lets. I think Mr. Nielsen’s advice is absolutely correct for a large number of business bloggers out there – but I hesitate to agree it is the best format for all business blogs.

I have been writing this blog for close to two years now and reading blogs for nearly twice as long. There is no shortage of great writers and great blogs on the internet, but to me, these either represent my favorite content or are special to me for other reasons.

I Am Getting Overtaken By Comment Spam Today
Posted on 7 June, 2007 at 12:02pm with 7 comments
Something is going on today because I have gotten roughly 80 comments that have made it through Akismet today – I cannot imagine how many Akismet has actually caught… I am posting this to see if any of you bloggers out there are experiencing the same thing. If so, does anyone use an extra anti-spam tool for cases such as this?
