So my question, if you‘re writing for online consumption why would you use a tool made for putting words on paper? Seems like serious overkill. Every time I hear, “write it in your word processor and just cut-and-paste” I‘m left scratching my head. Why not use a more appropriate and lighter-weight tool? I‘m thinking word processing as we have known it is obsolete.I also remarked recently that I couldn't remember the last time I'd used my computer when I wasn't connected to a network.
If I am offline then I am offline. I cannot remember a single time in the last three years (or so) where I have used my computer when not connected to the network.Well, that changed last weekend at the Beyond Broadcast conference when I was suddenly thrust into the wifi desert.
Disconnected from the network I pulled up Textmate and started taking notes. How sad is that? At least I didn't break the Word streak.
