The Different Types of Internet Writing
- Rant - A leftover from the days when the internet was comprised mainly of weirdo Subgenius folks and cyberpunks from The Well. Has now degraded into the domain of people complaining about drivers who leave their turn signal on. And politics.
- Instructional - Will never go out of style, but has all the variety and uniqueness of the missionary position.
- Useless Details - The intimacy usually ascribed to the zine format gets tired a bit quicker as technology allows you to publish every 5 minutes, but still holds some weight depending on the author.
- Catty Discussion of Buttsex - Popular favorite right now. But who knows. 10 years from now, it might be frank discussion of gastrointestinal ailments instead.
- List Format - Really just a way to feed people's short attention span. Will soon be replaced by other Powerpoint-related arts.
