I've argued this way before, but it's good to see confirmation that the nature of communication is changing. "While the essay form of writing is still very important, long narrative pieces don’t read well on the web, where they appear as walls of text to everyone except the few who are truly committed to their content. In contrast, a new kind of presentation is in wide use for effective blog or web writing that I call 'visually differentiated text' (VDT), a kind of visual rhetoric that employs a number of writing conventions that are used to visually sculpt text."
