Not trying to be snarky, but oddly enough I had a hard time paying attention to this article. I found myself skimming a lot towards the bottom.

I'm really unsure whether there was something useful in there for me or not -- lots of name-dropping, business-book mentioning, even some allusions to complicated math. At the end of the day, what I think the author was trying to say is that 12 is the optimum size for a creative group and that 150 is the optimum number of active fans you should have for your blog, and that 10,000 is the number of hours you have to spend on something to be good at it.

It would have been much better if the author had picked one point and made it cogently. Instead the article had this rambling, diffuse feeling to it.

I liked some of the data, and liked the points. The style just wasn't for me.

Me too, but for me it was more of an excitement to see the next point. Rather than being poorly written I'd say it was too interesting (if that's possible).
