EP Writing for Interactive Media Forum Lack of Professional Talent on Web in general In Reply to: If only... posted by Paul Herbert on November 05, 1996 at 09:47:08: Most personal pages lack professional design sense *and* copy. It doesn't take long to
realize that there aren't as many well designed and written pages as there are "home
pages", and I guess that is what keeps artists, copywriters, proofreaders, and
editors well-paid in this market. Forgive me if I stretch this metaphor a bit, but the
Web's contribution to writing reminds me of Karaoke's contribution to singing. Yes, you
occasionally get some incredible talent at the clubs, but most of the time the people on
the mic can't sing a note...they're just having fun. 'Nuff said.
