The advantages and disadvantages of informational, transactional and interactive sites.?

We'll take these apart one by one.\n1) Informational:\n    Sites that contain a lot of information are great as long as you remember that just because you found it on the internet does not make it true.  There are all kinds of pictures and stuff that is made up just to see how gullible people really are.  The advantage is that there are so many of these that you can filter rather quickly the information as it is posted.\n2) Transactional:\n    The advantages here are that you can buy stuff online without ever having to leave home.  You can also sell your unwanted stuff on sites like eBay.  The down side is that not everyone is reputable.  I have purchased from sites that disappeared overnight.  I have also purchased from eBay and gotten items that are nothing compared to their descriptions.  The truth is, you only want to do business with the sites you feel most comfortable with, that have a history of good faith.\n3) Interactive:\n    Ah but if it weren't for http://www.blizzard.com http://www.secondlife.com and http://www.kewlbox.com we wouldn't have anything else to do with all of our free time.  We can sit back and watch movies, play games, and even create a new life.  The drawback to these sites is that the servers have so many executions running for each person that they are slow and even annoying at times.\n\nHope this helps

what the heck are you asking?...\n\nperhaps providing onsite resources rather than having to go outside the network to get information?\n\nI think that question is useing term "intranet" loosely...

An informational web site is generally static in nature and is designed to only provide information to visitors who visit the site. this is generally what the internet was originally designed for, a place to freely share information and papers with hyperlinks embedded that would lead to additional information on included topics.

About 60 % of small businesses see value in creating web sites for marketing and in e-commerce.\n\nSome of the issues facing development are what plat form do i use do i include flash tecnology and what vendor do i use for the e-commerce component.  it has to be user friendly and current at all times which means regular updating,  You must also alow user to give feed back and or have a help feature built in.\n\nThey see this as a very valuable asset to their business as the internet is becoming the fastest growing medium for any business and users are very comfortable in using this medium.

The advantage is knowledge, disadvantage is time lost from enjoying life because there is much more to life than setting in front of a computer.

You could use joomla, which is a Content Management System. You can manage a site, publish information, sign in and even add more features by installing simple modules. Alls you need is an webserver supporting php and a mySQL server (most likely on the same computer).

The advantage is obviously getting access to info on criminal activity that would otherwise not be available but the downside is the immunity that so often is traded for the info provided by these informants.  Sometimes it's too big a price to pay.

The only advantage is if you find the software useful and trouble free. And that goes for shareware also. Note: there are a lot of freeware programs that are better than their shareware counterparts.

resarch? Anyway, I believe the library has more reliable information available in one spot to seek out while online research will put you in touch with all types of unrelated marketing pitches and there are sites offering you all kinds of information if you pay their subscription fees. It's getting to seem that the Internet's sole purpose is to get everybody to pay more and more money for everything and have no consideration for those who are using it to just "look around". The library is usually free and you interact with real live people who can help you out. In a well stocked library, you should be able to find anything that is also available in academic journals including the academic journals!
