Isn’t webzine just another term for blog, relegated to the dustbin of Internet history?

Ah cynical reader. Sure, blogs are a form of webzine but they are but just one example. A strict definition could be that a webzine is an online magazine, periodically produced and somewhat edited with roots in ‘zine culture. Many webzines started out as print ‘zines, themselves birthed in the bowels of the local Kinko’s copy shop. A broader definition, one we’ve always embraced for our conference, is any expression of independent online artistic content. Self-published online newspapers, diaries, photo logs, parody sites, culture jammers, hacktivists, recipe sites, gardening tips, remote hunting sites are all fair game. The idea is to highlight amazing examples of creativity that somehow involves the Internet or networked technologies.
