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:What can you find out online about others? What can anyone find out about you? Quite a lot. Carole Lane shows you both how and why in this encyclopedic book. Naked in Cyberspace reveals the personal records available on the Net and demonstrates both how they are used and how to use them. Lane further examines the issue of Net privacy, noting what information is not available to the average searcher and discussing what safeguards protect you from unwarranted intrusion. This is an important work for anyone who values both privacy and information.

Reviews (2) and details of Naked in Cyberspace: How to Find Personal Information Online
Review:
Out of the millions of Web sites out there, this lists four thousand. (The
majority of them are at universities, and simply listed.) Some are useful,
some are important, some are the home pages of small companies.
Intriguingly, I couldn't find any search engines listed.
Entries are divided into a couple of dozen categories (art, business, cities,
etc.), but not further subdivided.
A few introductory pages provide next to no help on using the Web.

Reviews (1) and details of New Riders' Official World Wide Web Yellow Pages/1995/Book and Disk
Review:
Will the real "Yellow Pages" please stand up? Is it this one? Hahn and
Stout's original "Internet Yellow Pages" ? NIS (Network
Information Services, the "yp" programs)? I suppose it doesn't matter: we'll
see all manner of "yellow pages" over time.
This outfit, the McKinley Group, is certainly serious about the task. All
entries have a standard format with title, rating (zero to four STARs--yes,
they made an acronym of it), brief description, keywords, audience, and user
information, ending with a URL (Universal Resource Locator) listing. Once you
get used to it, this is a very quick overview containing almost everything you
need.
For old hands at the Internet, this is a very handy resource. For newcomers,
it might be a bit ters...
