[Sigia-l] Classifying the internet

[Fred Leise]

Christina,

I've always talked about three kinds of websites:
    1. Vanity websites, e.g., tiffany.com, designed to make you feel 
good about a brand, product, etc.
    2. Information websites, e.g., webmd.com, designed to provide 
information about a specific topic or that allows people to share 
information, includes search engines
    3. E-commerce sites, designed to sell things
