Depressed? You don't have to be on the Net

Article Abstract:

Behavioral studies show that heavy use of the Internet results in depression. The most famous of these studies was conducted by Carnegie Mellon University, suggesting that people who surf the Internet become lonely and socially withdrawn. The methodology used in the study, however, has some fundamental flaws. The sample, for instance, was not randomly selected and involved people who are new Internet users. Thus, the study is inconclusive and does not provide concrete evidence that Internet usage causes depression.

How to look like a billion-dollar site

Article Abstract:

World Wide Web site designers can learn a lot from the Web sites of the top performers in the NetMarketing 200 list. The Web pages of those in the top 10 are exceptional. These are the firms that have reorganized their entire operations around the Internet yet their home pages have that sleek and understated look. The interface is simple and has no fancy gimmicks. In particular, the Marshall Industries Web site contains an 800 number upfront and a few other touches that may be small but should not be ignored.
