Writing for the web?????

In a recent series of articles Jared Spool & Co. (www.uie.com) has given useful tips and tricks of Breaking up Large Documents for the Web. They are a much more hands on "how to guide" of Jacob Nielsens by now age-old research findings of how people read on the web (and on computers), but not much new is seen (as far as I can see).

I find myself reading my news of the web more and more (rather than just the newspaper). But I *really* miss the more thorough articles from the newspaper on the web. In Denmark we have two national broadcasters who just so happens to also be worthy news sources, but they (like the newspapers online versions) have taken the short and sweet motto to the extreme (I've got a feeling that they just get a feed from Reuters and publish this completely unedited). When reading news I want more. Not 7 pages more, but definitely more than 5 lines. Am I the only one?
