Introduction

The purpose of this blog is to bring together some great young writers and present clever content in 275 words or less. I wish I had some scientific reason for choosing that number, but it was really just the first domain available that was in the range I wanted.

When I'm "surfing the net" I find that I run into article synopses that get me hooked but don't actually provide enough useful information to determine if I want to read an article or post. I usually click on the full link and read about two or three-hundred words and then give up. I'm sorry, but my brain has been melted by video games and I can only increase my attention span for work or school.
So the editors of this blog will break down the submissions we receive into super-synopses to give you just enough information to read the post and move on with your life. Hopefully you'll get hooked and read the full article.
The posts will consist of various topics in politics, economics, law, and entertainment. The homepage will have the 275 words-or-less articles with a link to the full article located on another page. You can also use the tabs at the top of this page to navigate through the full articles.

(FYI, this post is 221 words)
