Rule of Writing Online #9

Posted on December 7th, 2009. Written by Rico.

Please describe websites accurately. This is usually based on the purpose they serve. Example: Facebook is a “social networking website”, not an “internet server” as written by Raul M. Gonzalez. Facebook is all about letting people build online communities. Servers on the other hand are never websites, but the hardware or software responsible for delivering (or serving) the information or data stored on these sites to people requesting for them.

When in doubt, Wikipedia (an online encyclopedia) is actually a good source for information.
