Writing down my thoughts in disjointed, syntax-less phrases is usually the first step to putting together an article, not the last.

Would you have read the whole thing if it was a long winded essay in paragraph form?

I've seem more and more blog posts where this twitter style is used and for certain situations, it's very effective.

"for certain situations, it's very effective"

It may be for some, but this isn't one of them. I made it about halfway through before I completely lost interest, because there was no indication of the point of the article or where it was going.

This article is a study in tedium.

If it was well written it wouldn't be long winded.
