PR(OWL)ING AROUND: An OWL by Any Other Name (1996)

As in the natural world, cyberOWLs come in a variety of species, from completely online, full-service writing centers to those that serve to announce their existence. Rising early enough one day to hunt OWLs, I went searching through the dark, wooded forests of the cyber-jungle and identified the names of some 93 self-styled OWLs!

First Paragraph

As in the natural world, cyberOWLs come in a variety of species, from completely online, full-service writing centers to those that serve to announce their existence. Rising early enough one day to hunt OWLs, I went searching through the dark, wooded forests of the cyber-jungle and identified the names of some 93 self-styled OWLs! I was astounded by the numbers, amazed that there should be so many of these new “critters,” stunned that such a relatively new concept had proliferated so rapidly. Indeed, at the current reproductive rate, traditional writing centers are well on their way to becoming an endangered species.
