Introduction Compact

I am wrapping up 4 years of a weekly syndicated radio show dedicated to the net. Now we are delivering a daily 90 second sound byte. The show runs on 7 radio stations in Northern Ontario, Canada.

The show's theme "What's in it for me" As in what do I use the net for. Hearing how everyday people use the net will simply bring more people online. Here are a few things we've been told ..

- they do their stock research on line
- a doctor shares medical ideas in certain forum settings
- they do all their banking & pay bills on line
- they have a part time business selling items
- send email to their college kids

The list is endless. I actually interview people by phone about their use of the net & as you can imagine I am constantly trying to find new ways to show off the net's use.

I am creating this site in the hope that you'll suggest the top 3 or 4 best uses you've experienced from the net. I would like to follow up a few suggestions with an interview .. hope you'll help out.
