Review:
This book covers a lot of ground which other Internet business books don't.
There are chapters on encryption, file formats and searching for email
addresses. The material is quick and easy to read, and gives an overall
impression of the net in a short span of time.
There are, however, shortcomings. The content is very terse: not only
technical details but realistic impressions of usage may be missing. Most of
the material is good, but there are factual errors. (The chapter on viruses
has as many mistakes as facts.) Finally, while an attempt has been made to
point out some business functions of the net, there is nothing like a
convincing business case for the non-specialist company.

Review:
Questions, questions, questions. That's about all I have to offer on
this one.
Like, what is this book all about? It is a series of cartoons. Well,
I *think* it's a series. The characters remain the same throughout.
There are two groups of "old style" corporate executives who are
pretty incompetent. Then there are the employees who work for the
executives, said employees not demonstrating any particular skill.
The employees seem to leave and start up small businesses. Sometimes
they get lucky, and sometimes they do dumb things. Sometimes there
appears to be a plot, but any thread seems to disappear within a few
pages.
Occasionally other characters show up. Generally they have some kind
of idea for a business.
Is this supposed ...

Review:
What the heck, I mean, some of my *relatives* are real estate agents. But, you
must admit, this is a pretty specialized interest. When one has been reviewing
books for a while, one gets a bit cynical about specialized topics. Not to
worry. Kersnar has done an excellent job of presenting the net in a realistic,
detailed, and helpful fashion.
Although the book does present case studies of realty companies connecting to
the net, it doesn't fall into the trap of becoming simply a series of Web site
screen shots. (Than which there is nothing more boring.) Email is given
primacy--as it should, given that email is the most immediately useful
resource. The overview of software tools even includes the all important, but
often unmentioned,...

Reviews (1) and details of Netsuccess: How Real Estate Agents Use the Internet
Review:Building relationships with customers has been a buzz phrase in many business circles for years. Now John Hagel and Arthur Armstrong declare that's not enough. They make a strong case that business success in the very near future will depend on using the Internet to build not just relationships, but communities. The payoff, they maintain, will be phenomenal customer loyalty and high profits. But, they warn, this race will definitely go to the swift. Here's a cyberspace book that could make your business future. Not everyone agrees with Hagel and Armstrong, but with stakes so high they deserves a serious reading.
