Classroom......
Great starting point for any economics or marketing lessons.

Discuss with the students why is it important to web companies to be in this top list? What does it mean in real dollars? What kind of marketing do these companies do online? Why would people/customers come to their websites? What kind of products/services do they offer? How could they 'expand' their products/services to increase their reach?
