    <dc:creator>mcmorgan</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Jennifer Parker's micro-history of short form narrative et al. An interesting angle would be to look at what readers add to the narrative to make the story work. Do they elucidate? Do they create motivation? Do they re-create a micro-meaning?  ]]></description>

    <dc:creator>mcmorgan</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Mid-length consideration from a tech writer on short form text reading. Reviews some of the more recent arguments, and tries to set a lower limit on brevity. with "The same people who clipped back my copious callouts into a few marketing bubbles would have also pruned this post from 2,000 words to 200. Would that make the text more valuable? Just as there’s a balance between simplicity and obscurity, there’s a balance between length and learning. More people might read a short text, but a longer text yields more learning. Is there no pleasure in learning anymore?"  Tends to skip over the Clive Thompson notion that he mentions: "The torrent of short-form thinking is actually a catalyst for more long-form meditation."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>mcmorgan</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The short form forces concision, but it can also be used to generate possibles. 'Starr insists that companies he funds can express their mission statement in under eight words. They also must follow this format: "Verb, target, outcome."'  It'd add "means."
