Web-only-words

I went out for a drink tonight with a writer who - wait for it - has only ever worked online. That's quite incredible really. No press ads. No brochures. Just websites.

Is this a good thing? Probably. The internet needs writers who understand how people view information online. Then again, it also needs a kick up the backside from outside the industry - sometimes sites can be oh-so-worthy, but oh-so-dull to boot.

Me? I'm glad I started on the printed page, but I'm also happy to have been writing for the web since 1997. Everything feeds off something - mixing it up is A Good Thing.
