I made this for my recent presentation about web writing. A lot of it is not new to expert webessionals like you, but to my audience on the day most of it was new. Might even have been interesting. I’m putting it here so I don’t mislay it.
| Print writing | Web writing |
| Adverts come first | Adverts come second |
| The writer is the expert | The readers are expert |
| Each article exists in its own right, separated | Each article is part of a wider whole |
| Readers may respond and might get their response published | Readers expect to be able to respond, and their responses to appear instantly |
| Readers expect to pay | Readers expect not to pay |
| Articles are hard to share | Articles are trivially easy to share |
| Readers can’t easily respond elsewhere | They can |
| Prose is best | Notes are best |
