Foy Savas' methods of giving a Presentation & Blogging

Presentation/Talk technique - Great use of slides

Not sure how to describe the technique, but the talk just felt great to watch, with the Slides playing a very important role.

Blogging technique -

What is the technique ?
  • His blog-posts are going to be structured as Outlines (i.e. list of points) 
How does it help the Writer during writing?
  • He says it - Forces (i.e. helps) the writer to better structure the entire blog-post
How does it help the Reader ?
  • He says it - Allows the reader to "fully absorb" the blog-post
  • I want to add that it - Makes it easier for the reader to 'study' the blog-post (i.e. re-read the points, ponder over them) 
He explains his reasoning in more detail (but, remarkably, by needing to use very few words) in his blog-post. 

Extra effort required by Writer? Yes... but it is suited for Mobile Devices....so... -
Such (well structured) blog-posts or articles will be easier to read on Mobile devices.
This can benefit the Writer immensely. That could be the payoff for spending the extra effort to structure & condense the blog-post using such a technique.
