The New Yorker succeeds with lots of long, detailed articles, while People relies much more on pithy, chatty pieces. It wouldn't occur to us to say that one of them is doing it "right" or "wrong" -- they're just serving different audiences, and both of them have been successful for a long time. For whatever reasons, some folks active in the online media don't translate this kind of thinking into the online sphere.

I get tired of waiting for images to load or having to click a button for images to load. The best e-newsletter I read is formatted with nothing but text and uses a line of dashes between sections. Each section is about 200-500 words and, while the content differs, the presentation and order of the sections is always the same. It makes for a quick and pleasant reading experience.

Think of your message with an email. Most often you're trying to get someone to take action -- buy a product, share with a friend, join a conversation, take a stance for a social cause, etc. -- whereas with a blog, you're trying to share information and start a conversation. I'm a big fan of well constructed emails that link to a website, blog post, news article, etc. for more information. It shows the content that people are actually interested in when they click to read more. I agree with Marina, use only as many words as needed to express your point.
