Over the past 20 years the Internet has progressed from a portal for information sharing to a
virtual shopping mall. It has become the place to go in order find anything or information
about anything or even information about where to find information…..well, you get the point.
This is due in no small part to a clever group of marketers that realized the enormous
opportunities of exposure for their goods and services to people just waiting to buy. Just as we
are witnessing the monetization of sites such as MySpace and Facebook, we have seen the
internet turn into THE place to have a presence.
