Curly Smith, Per Andreas,

I agree with both of you that there will be a market for longer-form news. But given the short attention span of those with mice in their hands and the distraction of multitudes of sites, I think the bulk of news readers will be getting in and out of stories as quickly as possible. Moreover, look at the habits of young people — IM’ing and now text messaging seem sufficient for them.
