4.0 out of 5 stars Internet Directory 2009 , November 16, 2008

By	Tami Brady "Whole Health Therapist" (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Trying to find what you want on the Internet can be a frustrating and somewhat overwhelming task. Of course, you can do a search on Google. You'll get pages of websites that contain whatever key word you input. Dozens and dozens of pages of entries, probably hundreds of them will come up. Some of these pages will actually lead to a useful page. Many more will not.

2009 Internet Directory looks to simplify the process. As the name implies, it's a directory of websites, wikis, podcasts, blogs, forums, and social networks. The entries are seay to search through by topic for instance nonprofit business resources, science news, children's health, boating, museums, etc.

Of course, the entries listed are not complete listings of what is available online. However, this book does give you a good solid place to start looking. The majority of the websites are national or international associations and organizations. While doing my own searches, I found some really good resources with free material, newsletters, and some blogs that I bookmarked right away.

By	Vera Greene - See all my reviews

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Thought the book was informative, September 28, 2009

By	D. Carter (Ohio United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

This book is great for someone new or looking for specific information on a certain keyword. There are a few other products that I have found that may be more informative the 2007 Internet Yellow Pages which has more websites listed and the other is an online directory search engine at [...]. I would say for the cost I thought this book was well worth it.
