It may be a challenge for those writing in mostly print, but essentially, you're just conveying the same message in less words, and that isn't what seems that hard if you <em>actually</em> learn/train yourself to do it.

While it's not rocket science, there are a good handful of people who simply are not good writers. Then there are the good writers, who aren't used to/trained in how to infuse their copy with enticing language. Those are my favorite people! :) I read the Rutledge article and I like the point he makes. (Though, I have to admit, I skimmed BOTH articles before allowing myself to read them more in depth.) Textual design and variance certainly helps. I have to disagree when you say that writing for the web isn’t that tough.
