Web Round-Up W/E 14/03/97

The world’s first virtual business park has gone on-line. Trade UK aims to connect British businesses to the global export market. The site provides an electronic directory of UK exports companies for overseas groups who want to buy British products or services. The site can be found at http://www.tradeuk.com.

Dun and Bradstreet has launched a direct marketing service on the Net which users can browse free of charge. Surfers can use the database to formulate marketing lists and direct mail campaigns. For a free ride go to http://www.dunandbrad.co.uk.

It is not only commercial companies who are starting to realise the benefits of the Net as a promotional tool; Greenpeace has launched a Web-site for its UK operations. The charity is hoping that the site will help promote its campaigns. Judge for yourself at http://www.greenpeace.org/uk.

The scope of the Net as an educational resource is only now starting to be tapped. Both BT and Virgin are currently preparing homework services. These sites are expected to contain a wealth of reference sources to help kids with tricky homework tasks
