The most profound technologies are those
that disappear. They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday
life until they are indistinguishable from it.
Marc Weiser
 Electronic
writing in all its forms continues to develop. The following is
a list of works that have won prizes in recent years, as well
as a list of ezines that publish new media works. We stress that
this is only a small proportion of the work available and suggest
the reader adopts the role of web flaneur and browses their way
from one to the next in a leisurely fashion.
