Customer Reviews

Excellent aid

This book can help you in many ways: find support groups for your business venture, hobby, interest, or cause; get ideas for greener, healthier, or more frugal living; etc. Website information is organized under fifteen broad topics, one chapter per topic and chapter sections correspond to subtopics: Business, Computers and Electronics, Current Events/ Political/ Science/ News, Education, Entertainment, Family/ Parenting, Food and Drink, Going Green/ Environment, Health, Hobbies, Home, Religion/ Philosophy, Shopping/ Fashion, Sports, and Travel. Each website entry comes with a short introductory description and icons indicating whether the website requires account creation and/or fees, is suitable for children, provides videos or forum discussions, or comes with a BEST rating recommendation from the authors. Websites maintained or managed by government agencies, non-profits, or the private sector, as well as by single or groups of individuals, liberal or conservative, are included in the mix. While coverage is quite extensive, the authors and publisher welcome feedback and suggestions (see page xiii for email address).

2009 Internet Directory Web 2.0 Edition

Who would have thought a directory for the Internet would be necessary, but I found it quite useful. This book covers hundreds of topics that you may not consider when doing an Online search. It is informative, well written and fun to read. Something for everyone. In fact, it has helped me find a lot of great information I can use for a research project I am working on. I highly recommend it!

Excellent Resource

This book gives a great overview and starting place for great sites. Each site is hand-picked and reviewed. It is not a yellow pages. This is a good resource for all, and especially good for those less tech savvy.

A Excellent Resource

I received this book as a gift and at first I thought that anything found inside would be more easily googled than paging through a book. I must tell you that I began reading it on my plane ride home and found it very useful. The authors have obviously done their homework. It is a huge timesaver! I highly recommend it!

2009 Internet Directory Web 2.0 Edition

Unlike other Internet Directories I have looked at, the 2009 Internet Directory provides all the relevant websites, blogs, podcasts, social networking sites, etc. in one easy to use directory. Kudos to the authors and contributors for sifting through the vast chasm of the Internet to distill the most informative and relevant sites!
