According to this paper, people communicate online both verbally and non-verbally. "We will need to redefine not only our beliefs of what constitutes communication here, but also begin to assemble a new dictionary of online verbal and nonverbal communication codes, accents, cues and meaning." I am not completely happy with either theory used to frame this discussion, channel theory or process theory, but I do like the discussion, I like the whiteboard examples, and I suspect that as non-verbal authoring tools become easier to use we will see a lot more of this in online communication.
