The article discusses how internet users read the internet, and how writers need to tailor their writing to this new medium.

Cam and I (who run MusicianWages.com) get a good number of emails asking to guest blog for our site. We have a lot of rules for our guest bloggers (the biggest one: no self-promotion).

At the end of the rules, I always point the writers to this Slate article and ask them to try to follow as many of the rules as they can.

It’s a great resource. I recommend it to anybody who frequently writes online.
