TL, DR



Seen this yet? “TL, DR” is another one of those internet shorthand ‘webspeak’ things. It stands for “Too Long, Didn’t Read”. Everyone repeat after me “Websites are not books”. Good! I knew you could!

So what’s a person to do when there are lots of esoteric, and complex issues that you need your customers to understand? Video is a great tool for exactly that. People say that a picture is worth a thousand words, and it really is true! Video provides you with hundreds of pictures a minute, so you do the math!

TL, DR is also used by a few, when they know that they’ve got a long & laborious topic that will be a large block of text on their website, so they’ll put a pre-emptive TL, DR and a 1 or 2 sentence summation of the topic at the end. So my TL,DR for this blogpost?

TL, DR – it’s “too long, didn’t’ read”. Video is a good way to avoid it.
