What are some of the trends in the web / publishing industry?

I will be writing a test on this so as much general information on this would be appreciated and an online resource would be helpful too! Thanks!

Here are a few links that can help you with that. The first one is a blog from a publisher dedicated to talking about web publishing trends in the industry from a publisher standpoint.

This is a GREAT link which talks about trend analysis of web publishing. Check out the links towards the bottom. Especially the one that reads "Publishing trends" which will lead to a page with links on how the Internet is having a profound effect on the world of publishing and those trends.
