As a hypertext medium, the Web can also structure information better than newsgroups:

associative linking fosters relationships among people in addition to relationships among information. Experts in a particular field create pools of knowledge on their home page. When other people link into these pages, cliques of experts form. These cliques might be based on information or on hobbies, interests, culture, or political leanings. The result is that "electronic tribes" can form that meld cooperatively linked people in associations that could not be possible any other way. (December, "Challenges", n.pag.)

There are thus two sides -- Web usage, and newsgroup participation -- to the community's online activities, and usage patterns of Web sites are likely to reflect those of newsgroups: as a result of their strong involvement in the community, central newsgroup participants are frequently also maintaining useful Web sites, and are thus true Netizens (notably, high profile alt.music.yes poster Henry Potts is the keeper of the a.m.y FAQ, for example), more marginal posters will perhaps include links to such major Web resources on their own 'vanity' pages, while newsgroup lurkers are also likely to be merely passive Web browsers.
