We would like to clarify something to our readers because of an e-mail received today. There are two types of diary: One-liners where we tell you things you should know and where we don't have anything else to add and full diaries where we discuss a subject. For example, we use one-liners to talk about many updates on popular software. We just point you to the link. These are not advertisement to other companies :)

One liners are badly placed on the page.

These "one liners" have two and three lines...

Wasn't me, I swear. :P

I've always hated the one-liner stories. Even if all the important info is on another site, a small blurb would be nice.
The one liners are good for me as they provide a quick notice that I should go get more info if I want it. Maybe a link to the URL where there is more info would be useful to those people who say one liners are of no use.
I dislike one-liners, I get enough of those on SANS Twitter feeds.
