=====================================================================

Internet Update
---------------

31 May 1998

As I mentioned in the last newsletter, the past few weeks have been
very busy for us and on a personal note it has been very sad - my
girlfriend's father died last weekend.

As a result much of the past week has been devoted to funeral
arrangements and family matters.

For this reason I would like to dedicate this update to Ted - he
was a very kind, considerate and gentle man and all those who knew
him will miss him.

Internet Update

Passwords

On Sunday 31 May 1998 we upgraded our system and as a result some
user names and passwords were overwritten. If this happened to you
we unreservedly apologize.

You may still use the same user name, but you will need to obtain a
new password.

=================================
Some Internet statistics

There are approximately 3,500 pages on our Internet site now and
about 1,200 graphics - it just keeps growing.

During May 1998 our Internet site sent out over 250,000 pages at an
average of 8,000+ hits per day.

Our busiest day was 27 May 1998 when we had over 11,000 hits.

Sunday is the quietest day and Wednesday is the busiest!

We had 3 pages that were never visited so we removed them.

We have tons more useful and useless reports but that's enough for
one email.

=================================
Many new services

In response to numerous requests we have added a whole slew of new
services and products.

Joint Venture
-------------
One of the most requested services is a "Joint Venture" program
which has now been added to our site.

http://www.ostrichesonline.com/

Advertising
----------
Another featured request was the ability to advertise products
directly to clients.

You can now advertise your Ostrich products using our On Line
services.

http://www.ostrichesonline.com/

Job search and employee search
------------------------------
For those of you who are looking for new employment in the Ostrich
industry - or are desirous of finding a key employee, there is our
"Personnel Finder" program.

http://www.ostrichesonline.com/

Ostrich Meat
------------
Now supplying Ostrich meat into many countries around the world, we
can provide you with very competitive quotations from our facilities
in the USA, South Africa or Belgium.

http://www.ostrichesonline.com/

Farming Programs
----------------
There are about 100 different farming programs on offer for most
countries around the world.

http://www.ostrichesonline.com/

Livestock
---------
This year we have shipped livestock to over 30 countries so the
chances are we can help you out too.

http://www.ostrichesonline.com/

Forum
-----
The For Sale and the Reference forums have hundreds and hundreds
of pages - advertise your products for free or get answers to all
those difficult questions.

http://www.ostrichesonline.com/

Reference Books, Videos and Software
------------------------------------
Recently added titles to our reference section will enable you to
purchase on line almost everything to help you start, maintain or
develop your Ostrich business.

Ostrich Photographs
------------------
Over 100 photographs of Ostriches in varying stages of development
including eggs, hatching chicks, young birds and breeding birds.

http://www.ostrichesonline.com/

Free Web Space
--------------
We now offer a "Free Internet Space" program for those of you
who would like your published or unpublished Ostrich articles to
appear for the world to see.

http://www.ostrichesonline.com/

Ostrich Meat Nutrition Information
----------------------------------
Comparison charts, taste tests, cholesterol studies, consumer
awareness and much more to help you educate the world about the
benefits of Ostrich meat.

http://www.ostrichesonline.com/

Animal Health
-------------
Probiotics are an ideal way to help start the life of young chicks
and to aid in the development of older birds. 12 technical papers
and client recommendation letters give you the reasons why.

Privacy Policy
--------------
Ever wondered what everyone does with the information that is stored
when you visit a web site. Here is our official position on your
privacy.

http://www.ostrichesonline.com/

Search the Site and The Big Index
---------------------------------
Although the above is helpful, with about 3,500 pages it is
difficult to provide everything in such a short note, so you can
always visit the web site and see our main page or the BIG index
or do a keyword search on just about everything.

=================================
Order status

All orders placed over the past few weeks have almost been totally
cleared - the response to the spring sale was far more than we
planned and a lot of stuff needed to be re-ordered. Our apologies
to all those who have sent in orders and not seen them yet - they
are or have been sent.

=================================
In the works

A number of programs are in the works, and one of the main ones is
the Ostrich and Ratite Feed Program which we should have finalized
before the next newsletter - due out within a week or so.

The Feed Program will be of major interest to those who are in need
of a good Ostrich Feed or Feedmix - all details will be on the web
site and announced shortly.

Ostrich feathers and boas are now being photographed for inclusion
on the site - and together with a comprehensive price list we should
be able to supply almost all your requirements.

It won't stop there - but the rest will just have to be a secret
for the time being!!
