Squaring up to the US giants

Article Abstract:

The UK Web design sector is facing significant challenges, particularly as a result of acquisitions by foreign concerns. The number of larger independent Web designers is falling, either through foreign acquisition or through establishing closer links with UK advertising agencies. However, some observers believe that independent Web designers do have a viable future, particularly as there may be limits to the benefits US companies can derive from acquired UK Web designers.

There's a caring and sharing cyber-community out there

Article Abstract:

Community and communication form a significant element of Internet usage. Many people use the Internet to establish contact with others and to exchange views, rather than merely to buy goods or obtain information. A number of search engine providers have established a communities concept, in which subscribers can create a virtual meeting place. Free community services of this kind are regarded as a valuable tool in attracting users to specific web sites.
