Internet Directory 2009
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...

You call this a directory?
I was very dissapointed in this directory, maybe I was expecting too much. The directory does not have a complete listing and has only two or three recommendations for each linsting. I had a directory a few years ago that was as big as a phone book and that's what I thought I found.

Internet Directory 2009, November 16, 2008
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.

2009 Internet Directory Web 2.0 Edition, November 13, 2008
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!

Thought the book was informative, September 28, 2009
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.

Excellent aid, January 10, 2009
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).

Excellent Resource, November 10, 2008
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, October 16, 2008
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, October 15, 2008
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!

Good Product, December 18, 2008
The internet is a big place. I got this for my mom because large search engines would be confusing for beginners. At the very least this will not lead her astray to any bad or scam sites. It is a neat book.
