The advantages of maintaining lists like these on a website lie in the factors we might label inclusivity, accessibility and updateability.
While print journals and other traditional resources can provide a list of both print and electronic resources, a website can provide that same list with physical links to the latter. So the two media have approximately equivalent abilities to include; the website increases the ability to access.
As for the ability to update frequently and consistently: a journal, mired in a quarterly (or even less frequent) publication cycle, must often wait months to update a published list. A website is limited only by the frequency with which those maintaining it are able to make changes.
The benefits of the accessibility/updateability issues are reflected in the adopted practice of electronic journals, such as Kairos, of maintaining a site linking to other resources of interest.
