      All the Web-resources can be divided into two principally different groups: the first one is
corporative sites, the second one is mass media sites.
      The corporative sites belong to firms (companies) and private persons. These are the same
sites with telephones and addresses, sites of technical supports, sites of sport teams, and their
fans, etc. Shortly speaking, they are those sites the owners of which are interested in propagation
of some “own” information.
      The mass media sites belong to the second group and also propagate information. But their
owners’ purpose is not their own information, but the fact of receiving a visitor into the site. It
should be noticed that the mass media site is not the same as the traditional means of mass me-
dia. This can be a site-portal, a site-encyclopedia, and even a safe-stop. This main thing is that
people should go there.
