NEW YORK - One of the earliest promises about the World Wide Web was that it would put some of the power of the press back in the hands of regular people. The same people who once wrote thoughtful polemics or commentary on handbills and in pamphlets of limited circulation, or through the occasional letter to a newspaper editor, could, at least in theory, reach the entire Internet-connected world with their ideas. Some who embraced the Web early went on to become media barons all their own. "

Cobuild Concordance and Collocations Sampler

Cobuild Concordance and Collocations Sampler: "56 million words of contemporary written and spoken text that you can search... is "softwares" used????"
Hi guys,

Being the only girl of this class, I feel obligated to introduce you to a typical feminine activity : filling tests. Tests are so great, you could learn anything about you thanks to them. For example, have you ever asked yourself which is the flavor that represents you? Or what is your music match? I hear you telling me that this does not interest you..

After a little trip on this page, you would have no secret for yourself any longer. Enjoy.
