August 17, 2007 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Lycos (http://www.lycos.com) is now offering Tripod for Teachers (http://www.tripod.lycos.com/teachers/index.tmpl), a set of free web publishing and hosting tools that enable teachers to create interactive web sites for “more efficient communication”. The move is designed to enhance classroom curriculums and enable teachers to “compete in the Web 2.0 world”.
Tripod for Teachers offers a range of “classroom templates” that in conjunction with the web publishing tools enables sites to be built “in minutes”.

"Lycos is proud to be able to offer educators the opportunity to utilize our award-winning building and blogging tools to better connect with the audiences that are most important to them."
Established in 1995, Tripod serves nearly 12 million unique visitors and was ranked as the second most popular web-hosting site by comScore Media Metrix in July 2007.
