You may be surprised at the number of electronic “personals” that you can find on the World Wide Web. 8. Electronic newspapers and magazines. This category includes late-breaking news, weather, and sports. We’re likely to see this category leap to the top five in the next several years. 9. Job-hunting. Classified ads are in abundance, but most are for technical positions. 10. Shopping. It’s difficult to believe that this category even ranks.
