Most of them know the answer (may be a part of it) but still wants me to repeat it. This time I am going to write the expert answer to this ever green question. Here are the 5 ways in which online writing differs from print media:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Readability problems:<\/strong> On web, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.useit.com\/alertbox\/whyscanning.html\">people have readability problems<\/a> and therefore they want to scan the content fast enough before giving it a read.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Way too many options:<\/strong> On web, we have way too many options for the same content. One needs to make a choice before reading it (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/view\/id\/93\">making choices always offer dissatisfaction<\/a>). Just writing good content won&#8217;t help, you need to make sure reader will like to read it. An article published under aboutus.com may be read more times that the same content published on a lower ranked website.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hyperlink:<\/strong> I feel <a href=\"http:\/\/www.idealwebtools.com\/blog\/hyperlink\/\">hyperlink<\/a> is a big blessing for online writing. One can divide the content into various mutually exclusive parts and connect it silently.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Action based reading:<\/strong> On web, people want to take actions while reading. They want services, want to muddle with the apps etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make people participate:<\/strong> On web, One can use <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Wisdom_of_Crowds\">the wisdom of crowds<\/a> to generate a high quality content.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>There are almost another 5 reasons and I will be writing those very soon.
