johnfb writes "Until recently the three fundamental stages of the communication that basically started with the invention of the printing press, Production – Distribution – Processing, have been in sync.

amichalek writes "One invaluable tool I use when surfing the web is the Alexa toolbar. I've used it for years to be able to get additional information about each webpage I visit.
The most valuable features are being able to get a ranking of how popular a site is, as well as having a list of related websites. It's great for evaluating competitive or customer's websites as well as finding additional sources for information.
We've teamed up with Alexa to provide a free version of this toolbar. If you download the toolbar, it also gives you a nice little link to Unit of 1 as a part of it.
