World Wide Learn Wins
Cool Site of the Day!
_____________________

World Wide Learn will be Cool Site of the Day for Saturday 
March 25, 2000. 

Cool Site of the Day
http://www.coolsiteoftheday.com/

Long before there were cool sites of the hour, minute, second, 
and cool sites of the millennium, Cool Site of the Day was out 
there surfing the web looking for the best web sites that 
demonstrated notable strides in innovation, content, and design.

"Cool Site of the Year is the "arbiter of taste on the Internet." 
-- The New York Times

"Cool Site of the Year is "the Oscars for the taped-glasses set." 
-- The Netly News

The "'people's choice awards' to identify the coolest sites on 
the Internet and to disprove the notion that computer geeks 
can't dance ..." 
-- MSNBC

One of the best award sites on the web. It also happens to be 
the original "Cool Site of the Day." 
-- register-it.com

If you think World Wide Learn is "cool" please click over to 
Cool Site of the Day (on Saturday and anytime after) to vote 
for my site - the higher it ranks, the better chance of getting 
nominated for a Cool Site of the Year Award!! 

Thanks!
