Once the widespread reach the Internet provides to its information is grasped, groups and individuals scramble to get their message out. Commercial companies want a presence to promote their companies products and/or services, and ideological and religious groups seek to get their message out.

On the Web are countless examples of all forms of "proselytization" efforts. Many see the Internet as another opportunity for evangelism. I think it has many more possibilities than we had in TV. The form of elaboration that can be taken on the web with its hypertextual and branching nature makes it possible to tell a more complex story.
