Who Will Write Them?

Communications revolutions have created: communication.

Letters. Phone calls. Garage bands on tape. Home brew videos distributed by mail. Zines. Email. Usenet groups. Personal web pages. What's next?

One way to get new kinds of texts is to give people tools to create them. Spread the tools and encourage connections.

What would help hypertext join that list? Better tools and ways to share their products. Co-authorship, making it possible to add to, write on or with exemplary texts, as well as imitate them. An ideal of challenging writing and new form.
