Beyond CD-ROM: What is Internet Publishing?
- A way to reach 3 million people world-wide (maybe)
- Growing beyond belief
- Getting easier to use--Thanks to WWW
- Even older services getting on the Net (Prodigy, America OnLine*, Compuserv, Bertelsmann Online Services (BOS) the German partner of AOL)
- Interactive Rather than Passive
- Dynamic Rather than Static
- Fickle Audience (for the moment)
- Well-off, young, intelligent audience
- Content outlasts Style
- Takes advantage of the medium
- Realizes the present limits of the medium
