Teamreport Week2

This week I used Webcrawler to access information on "commercial internet branches". I got quite a list..since I never get to shop nowadays (too much studying) I thought it might be interesting to check out what the "Mega Internet Shopping List" has to offer. It first gave me a whole directory of Internet Malls. Since I always like to read things in german I selected "Marketplace", a bilingual german-english site. The marketplace offers business opportunities, such as helping you advertise your business if you want to sell it. I thought that is a great opportunity. Your offer will be exposed to such a variety of webusers. From the german homepage I found a link to specific instruction on how the advertising is done, and what these web consultants charge for their services. The first thing they will suggest is to create a homepage for the client. A one time fee of $100.- will be charged for the homepage. To maintain it a monthly fee of $50.- will be added. Not bad..Lori, how would you like that?
The consulting firm advices the german user to open his/her account on an american server, since the german telekom (communications firm) tends to overprice these relatively new communication services. I thought that was quite nice. I should tell my dad..Well, I think this report speaks for itself. I started out with the intention to find what the net offers in its Malls. However, I got sidetracked. In many departements I have heard faculty complain that students' grades are suffering because of their addictive behavior towards the net. I can relate to that. We are bombarded with such a variety of information that I, too, find it difficult to tremain focused.
