Blogs Are the New PowerPoint

I’ve noticed more and more lately that the latest blogging trend is to distill what might be a coherent, thoughtful idea or story into round-up style top 10 lists.

So what’s the deal? Do bloggers think we’re too stupid to read something longer than an executive summary? Maybe, but my bet is on getting traffic by way of SEO or link baiting or making the front page of Digg. But most importantly, it’s about putting something in your RSS reader.
