“Martin Dodge, the man behind cybergeography.org, has co-written (with Rob Kitchin) a book called Mapping Cyberspace. WriteTheWeb has got an exclusive interview with him. In it, we asked him to explain what cybergeography is, and how it can be used as a tool for those people involved in the building of web sites. Martin’s candid and frank response was to compare the current state of cyberspace mapping with the very early days of real-world cartography.”
“Our exploratory user study on the use of a major portal site in Belgium shows that a category of ’skeptical Internet users’ has abandoned searching the web.

“Web apps are applications or programs that run right in your browser. In most cases, there’s nothing to install, especially if you already have popular browser plug-ins like Macromedia Shockwave and Flash. Apps.com lists over 10,000 Web apps for you to use, most free of charge and ready-to-run. At Apps.com, you’ll find links to business and personal finance tools, e-mail and collaboration apps, calculators, games, and much more.”
