    The World Wide Web riding on the back of the Internet is a world pulsating with a life of its own. Things are happening in this (virtual) domain every hour. The Web has become an indispensable part of people’s lives. You need someone to track the day-to-day events for you as you go about your busy life. Whats New On The Net keeps readers updated on the major developments from the World Wide Web. Not only news, we also profile startups, new phone apps; report on new bots, and emerging tech. The sole touchstone against which all our stories are tested — how does it affect, you, the end-user.
