“…I have recently got an unpaid internship in ******
website marketing & building company, for the summer.
The co-founder was very impressed by the use of
WordPress and Twitter for teaching,
as he claims that it is the next big thing in e-commerce
and he said that it's excellent that graduates
will be familiar with such sites.”
