Webtop technology hasn't caught up with ideas
Article Abstract:
The technology for integrating the Web and the desktop is still not available. The incorporation of Web browsing in mainstream applications and operating systems enables online marketers to view more Web advertisements and marketing sites and receive messages even when not browsing the Web. Both the Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and Netscape Communicator 4.0 have failed in this regard, although they both have integrated push technology and the capability to turn the desktop into Web pages. However, Microsoft will incorporate browsing and push in Windows 98.

Extranets emerge as next challenge for marketers
Article Abstract:
The next step after company intranets is the development of extranets or extended intranets where the suppliers and clients can access a company's intranet. Extranets can be important tools for marketers. Hence, marketing executives must be proactive and get themselves involved in the planning stage of extranets. Marketers can apply the same skills they have used in increasing visitors to their public Web sites in increasing traffic in extranets.
