Web Content
|
Too many words have been written about how and why
the Web is a new medium for sharing information. The
best reason to refer to the Web as a "medium" is that most of
the content it bears is neither rare nor well done.
In fact, "Web content" is a limiting misnomer.
Instead, the Web is a clearinghouse for content of all types.
But underlying all the animated GIFs, streaming media and
other online bells and whistles, the key to online communication
— just like its offline, yellowed newsprint ancestor — is in
the crafting of words.
