Dear Customer
This month the publication of the exclusive 500 million club list shows that the web is still very much about finding stuff, with eBay, Amazon and the big names in search dominating the UK's Internet activities. It's also about communication; MSN's Messenger is still a member (despite a fall in use) and social networks are the new place to socialise online.

Kind regards
Tom
