Because if you press the Make Your Own Copy button, you’ll get your own copy of the notebook, which you can not only read and interact with, but also edit and do computation in, right on the web. When a Wolfram Notebook is published to the cloud, it’s immediately something people can read and interact with. And-together with the power of the Wolfram Language as a computational language-it promises to usher in a new era of computational communication, and to be a crucial driver for the development of “computational X” fields. It’s an unprecedentedly easy way to get rich, interactive, computational content onto the web. Then you just press a button to publish it to the Wolfram Cloud-and immediately anyone anywhere can both read and interact with it on the web.

You create a Wolfram Notebook-using all the power of the Wolfram Language and the Wolfram Notebook system-on the desktop or in the cloud. We’ve been working towards it for many years, but now it’s finally here: an incredibly smooth workflow for publishing Wolfram Notebooks to the web-that makes possible a new level of interactive publishing and computation-enabled communication.
