Editing Tagline (section)

===E-texts===
[[Website]]s also often have taglines. The [[Usenet]] use taglines as short description of a newsgroup. The term is used in computing to represent [[aphorisms]], [[Maxim (saying)|maxim]]s, [[graffiti]] or other slogans.

In [[electronic text]]s, a ''tag'' or ''tagline'' is short, concise sentences in a row that are used when sending [[e-mail]] instead of an [[electronic signature]].  The tagline is used in computing with the meaning of a "signature" to be affixed at the end of each message. In the late eighties and early nineties, when the amateur computer network [[FidoNet]] began to flourish, the messages that were exchanged between users often had a tag-line, which was no longer than 79 characters, containing a brief phrase (often [[wit]]ty or [[humor]]ous).
