  • A word to Stephen Fry โ€“ and the word is brevity

    Stephen Fry started blogging last week. Already, in Bloglines alone, he has nearly 400 subscribers. Now I love Stephen Fry to bitsโ€ฆ but heโ€™s averaging 7250 words per posting. Blimey. Iโ€™m sure his new piece on the modern notion of fame is fabulous, and Iโ€™d love to read it whilst travelling tonight, but Iโ€™m not sure my battery will hold out.
