In a shameless act of self-promotion, the Pulitzer Prize-
winning American author and professor Robert Olen Butler
has written and published online a short story, "This Is
Earl Sandt."
According to the account from The Guardian, at
http://www.guardian.co.uk/internetnews/story/0,7369,603820,00.html
this is the first writing entirely online, completely
captured by web cameras and archived at the site
http://www.fsu.edu/~butler/
It is remarkable to see how the Internet is being
used in new ways, making possible books far different
from earlier printed paradigms, and not constrained
by copyright issues or obsolete business models of
publication.
