Legal Writing For The Web

Diana Digges has an article in this week's Lawyers Weekly U.S.A. entitled Writing For The Web -- Concise Writing A Must: Content And Presentation Are Inseparable, which includes quotes from Mark Pruner (President of Web Counsel), Sue Mellen (President of YourWriters), Nick Usborne (author of the wonderful Net Words), and me (of here).

Better To Better

Riffing

It shouldn't surprise you that I find this Winer-Svenson-Winer-Lessig-Winer exchange monumentally exciting. Or that Doc does.

Blawg Wednesday

Well hello Andrew Raff ("Shameless Self Promotion"), founding editor of online journal Buzz, Rant & Rave, first-year at Brooklyn Law School and keeper of a nicely designed Web site. And welcome back Larry Staton, Jr. ("statonBlog"), from your summer hiatus.

Two Treats Worth Waiting For

1. A web-based, refreshingly straightforward blog and news aggregator: BlogHog. (Thanks, Michael!) Nothing to download. Anywhere acess. Simple and quick to register and add pages. Ahhhhh.

2. Somone finally got around to interviewing Paynter, that someone being George Partington. The interview is here. "I had a college job in a huge library and was awed by the mathematical impossibility of ever absorbing its contents. The net is so much bigger, but linking gives us a way to fly through the information in a way that makes it all accessible. The daunting mathematics of a number of volumes with sequential pagination arranged in rows of shelving across multiple floors of the stacks has given way to an intellectual anti-gravity that makes me welcome the volume and complexity of published content." Ahhhhh.
