The Internet

Owen Jones

I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable. 
The ideas in this ebook on various aspects of the Internet including using it to your advantage is organised into 17 chapters of about 500-600 words each. 
I hope that it will interest those who are hoping to make money on line, and those who want to attract more traffic to an offline business by using the often ‘free’ resources that the Internet has to offer. It will also be useful to bloggers who just want to make friends all over the world and chat with them. Luckily, many aspects of the Internet are still free, especially if you don’t allow yourself to be manipulated by the self-proclaimed Internet gurus, who are waiting to pounce on unsuspecting newbies. 
As an added bonus, I am granting you permission to use the content on your own website or in your own blogs and newsletter, although it is better if you rewrite them in your own words first.

Eight Eyes

Sally Cook

Spiders sometimes create terror, admiration and fascination and in this account spiders are heroes and victims. They induce one arachnophobe to pull over in blind panic as one of their members crawls out from behind his car pedals while he is driving at speed along a country road. Another toys with a spider, bouncing it up and down on its web as if it were a yoyo. Spiders create strong reactions in many of us. This story takes us nto their web of life.
