From paper to the net.

Writing a paper and writing on the web are two different forms of writing. The main reason they differ is because of the audiences and the atmosphere surrounding the writing. They are, however, very similar in the fact that they both communicate and they often use the same sentence structure.

When a person writes a paper it is usually to a superior or to the public. This requires the writing to look and be professional. Web writing on the other hand does not generally need to be professional. Web writing is almost always to peers and subordinates and therefor can be written just to communicate and nothing else.

When transferring a paper to the net it is very important to remember the audience and to concentrate on how attractive the text is. It is often important to make the web writing more concise and less formal so as to not loose the audience.

I say thank goodness for computers and the web because they save trees from death!
