I am problably the most frequent short poster, as shown in the Planet PG
statistics. I like to post to tell people about what is going on with
the project. I don't think any of it is tweet length (140 characters),
but they are short. In fact, I try to make the blog posts as short as
possible, and link to further details, because people have a limited
amount of time. (My emails are short too.)

I don't think I could produce significant-length blog posts with any
regularity.
