	abstract = {Genre conventions emerge across discourse communities over time to support the communication of ideas and information in socially and cognitively compatible forms. Digital genres frequently borrow heavily from the paper world even though the media optimally support different forms, structures, and interactions. This research sought to determine the existence and form of a truly digital genre. Results from a survey of user perceptions of the form and content of web home pages reveal a significant correlation between commonly found elements of home pages and user preferences and expectations of type. These data support the argument that the personal home page has rapidly evolved into a recognizable form with stable, user-preferred elements and thus may be considered the first truly digital genre.},

	abstract = {In light of empirical research showing that personal home pages are not as personal as their reputation suggests, this paper proposes that sustained selfpresentation on the Web by ordinary people has been hindered, in part, by the feeble legacy of suitable genres. Drawing on a sample of over one hundred personal home pages, this paper illustrates how, in the absence of generic precedents, public self-presentation is instead achieved through innovation with past genres.},

	abstract = {We examined the home pages of the 50 US states over the years 1997{\textendash}2002 to discover thedimensions underlying people{\textquoteright}s perceptions of state government home pages, to observe how
those dimensions have changed over the years, to identify different types of state home pages,
and to see how these types have changed. We found that three primary dimensions explain the
variation in perceptions of home pages. These are the layout of the page, its navigation
support, and its information density. Over the years, variation in navigation support declined
and variation in information density increased. We discovered that four types of state
government home page have existed continuously from 1997 to 2001. These are the {\textquoteleft}Long List
of Text Links{\textquoteright}, the {\textquoteleft}Simple Rectangle{\textquoteright}, the {\textquoteleft}Short L{\textquoteright}, and the {\textquoteleft}High Density/Long L{\textquoteright}. To this
taxonomy, two other page types can be added: the {\textquoteleft}Portal{\textquoteright} page and the {\textquoteleft}Boxes{\textquoteright} page. The
taxonomy we have identified allows for a better understanding of the design of US state home
pages, and may generalize to other categories of home pages.
