Are In-Depth Articles Better Than Blog Postings?

Blog postings will always be commodity content: there's a limit to the value you can provide with a short comment on somebody else's comments. Such postings are good for generating controversy and short-term traffic, and they're definitely easy to write. But they don't build sustainable value. Think of how disappointing it feels when you're searching for something and get directed to short postings in the middle of a debate that occurred years before, and is thus irrelevant.

Welcome to global free enterprise, blog allows more traffic in burst allowing easy ad income. Sustainable value is no longer what the next generation is looking for; quick money is. When capacity is measured by highest sustainable output rather than occasional boost, it becomes impossible to measure in this rapid internet growth. What is Google's sustainable value?
