Abstract: Against the backdrop of the rapid growth of the Internet, this research study investigates the intersection between corporate World Wide Web pages and the publics they serve.

Through a cluster analysis procedure, the researchers found about one-third of corporate Web sites are assertively used to communicate with a multiplicity of audiences in a variety of information formats.
TL;DR: The study reports that perceived complexity is a result of four major factors: number of links, number of graphics, home page length, and number oflinks.
Abstract: To date, little research has been conducted to explore how consumers perceive and use the Web as an advertising medium. Although numerous guidelines for Web home page design exist, the vast majority of advice is based on opinion, personal experience or observation, not necessarily on empirical evidence. A combination of research methods (focus groups, interviews, and experiments) is used to identify design elements that influence consumers perceptions of Web page complexity. The study reports that perceived complexity is a result of four major factors: number of links, number of graphics, home page length, and
TL;DR: This article puts on the agenda one of the fundamental theoretical questions within the emerging field of website history: how can the object of historical study — the website — be delimited?
Abstract: This article puts on the agenda one of the fundamental theoretical questions within the emerging field of website history: how can the object of historical study — the website — be delimited? Its focus is on the 'website' artefact as a medium and a text. After elaborating a definition of the website, as well as discussing how the website is distinct from other possible analytical web objects (the web as a whole, web sphere, webpage and textual web element), the article addresses the challenges of delimiting the archived website. Finally, it outlines some of the key issues in a general discussion of website history.
TL;DR: A computer-based user interface for accessing litigation information associated with at least one litigation case includes a home page, which includes a first plurality of user-selectable hyperlinks.
Abstract: A computer-based user interface for accessing litigation information associated with at least one litigation case includes a home page. The home page includes a first plurality of user-selectable hyperlinks. Each hyperlink in the first plurality of hyperlinks identifies a category of litigation information. The interface also includes a plurality of web pages. Each web page is associated with one of the hyperlinks in the first plurality of hyperlinks. Each web page provides litigation information related to the category identified by the hyperlink associated with the web page. Each web page is displayed in response to selection of the hyperlink associated with the web page.
TL;DR: In this article, a dynamic toolbar operates in conjunction with a web server for presenting links associated with a website requested by a web surfer at a client computer, and a Popularity Index is determined by an actual count of redirections from the URL of the source website to the respective URLs of the related websites.
Abstract: A dynamic toolbar operates in conjunction with a web server for presenting links associated with a website requested by a web surfer at a client computer. The web server receives a source URL of a source website requested by the web surfer and compiles a directory of URLs of related websites that may be of interest to the web surfer for selecting therefrom a subset of URLs according to their popularity. Data representative of the subset is uploaded to the client computer for displaying by a web browser thereof. The subset of URLs is selected by accessing the directory to determine a category to which the source URL belongs and extracting from the directory respective URLs of related websites of the category. A Popularity Index is determined by an actual count of redirections from the URL of the source website to the respective URLs of the related websites.
