e-commerce
E-commerce refers to the sale of goods or products through online Stores.
Online stores are not just about selling products. Many work on more
sophisticated functions such as flight or hotel booking systems, comparison
sites, online brokers or affiliate marketing schemes.
Its a big area but still many companies operate in sectors where this model
of business isnt always appropriate so looking more widely at the internet
and emerging technology is important in presenting a presentation that is of
use to each and every person accessing it.

EC Framework (contd) :
social bookmarking
These sites allow individual users to store, tag and share links across the
internet. Users can share these links both with friends and people with
similar interests.
They can access links from any computer they happen to be using.
All of these sites are free to use but do require you to register. Once
registered you can begin bookmarking.
Each of the sites works slightly differently but all perform pretty much the
same function. The more tags a website gets the more it may be found by
likeminded users in the future. As such achieving social tags may be
important in getting future rankings for a site.
The next slide shows the various social bookmarking logos you will see.
