Mining the Internet Online
   by Glen Bull, Gina Bull, & Judi Harris
Mining the Internet is an ongoing column in L&L. Frequently the Internet changes substantially in the six months between the time that a column is submitted and the time it appears in print. The Mining the Internet Web site will provide a location for updates to each issue's column. It will also provide a way to offer active links to Internet locations mentioned in the column and a place for material that would not fit in the confines of a four-page column. The column will therefore become a hybrid mix of print materials that will appear in each issue of L&L and supplementary materials that will be placed on the Web each month.
