I have a pet peeve for promising looking articles, books, and , yes, blog posts that struggle to contain a simple idea within the confines of a modest amount of verbiage. Mea culpa
Part of this is the modern penchant for wit over wisdom (Mea culpa) or thinking up headlines or slogans and leaving the content part to flounder in a flooding-stream-of-consciousness [Mea maxima culpa]

what was I writing about...
oh yeah, wordiness in/and web 2.0,
Anyways, I hereby promise to try to
1: Kiss (Keep it short, sometimes)
2: Give anything difficult or lengthy some actual thought (This is the subject of the "Think!" post)
3: Distill that thought into some form of preface that can be comprehended, and a prudent time-for-this? decision thus made fast
and 4: NOT post excessively (after I finish venting about excess)
