Webzine

A Webzine is a ezine hosted on the World Wide Web rather than in print. Unlike blogs, which are published ad hoc, a webzine is published on a regulated basis (weekly, biweekly, monthly). Webzines also maintain an editorial control system whereas blogs do not. Some people also use the term to refer to any magazine published on the Web. Early Webzines included Chaos Control, Hotwired, and The Virtual Journal.
