web2.0 & short article is hit by Panda update. google call it Shallow content

Google Panda update 2.2

then i search about it and this i found
Just because an article is long doesn't mean there's more value. Just because an article is short doesn't mean that it's shallow. Sometimes long articles are long merely for the sake of it. Sometimes short articles are jam packed with great information and resources

any one tell me What exactly Shallow content is ?

    lacking depth

    the content is vague and doesn't present any useful information

    "Shallow content" is essentially virtual garbage.

    In my opinion shallow content is less valuable content, without any information.

    Reading and publishing such content does not worth anything.

      The length of the content has little to do with the value. Here's how you can determine if your content is "quality" or not.

      Are your readers sharing it? Are you getting any natural links? If not, your content probably sucks. That's the truth.

      If you're just posting content to rank on Google (and there's nothing wrong with that), then you have to play by Google's rules. If your testing shows they like long articles, then post long articles. Don't rely on what other people tell you. Test, test, test.
