Paper Writing vs Web Writing

As a business writing class we've been discussing proposals, how we want to express our ideas to persuade someone to feel the way we do, and how important GRAMMAR is but according to Chapter 15 writing on the web needs to be grammatical, but concise. In writing, you need to create buffers and more "words" within the paper to create a better feel or understanding, but on the web you can get directly to the point and not have to worry about leading to the subject or having a body to follow your main idea. Most people do not stare at a computer and read it word for word, probably like you are now, but if the web creator can say exactly what they want to say and attract the person to the page, then they succeeded. If we are wanting to transfer a full document directly to the web, we must make it more concise, provide bullets or number to break down the body and make it more of an outline for the viewer. I hope what I have written will help have a better understanding of web writing vs papers...
