But as an online marketer, I've seen the effectiveness of concise communications, especially with Web 2.0 Internet marketing. Search engine results (SEO), Blogging, Video, Press Releases, article writing with "Read more" links-all of these things are important to the online experience and they all share the same common element; relaying information that users can either ignore, or choose to explore further.

Kentucky Fried Chicken has become KFC, because who has time for 6 syllables when 3 will do just fine?
