Size Really Does Matter - At Least With Twitter
By Merle

Back in the days when newsletters first hit the Internet, they were usually published in text format because many email clients did not support HTML email just yet.

However, there are some serious new competitors that may just take a bite out of Google's rosy search numbers. Never know, one or several of them, may just give Google a run for those all important search engine dollars.
