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.
