        Latest update to the  Internet Search FAQ

(c) Charles Harris 2000

This FAQ is available on the web at <www.purefiction.com/pages/res1.htm>

1. We're delighted to receive a Britannica Internet Guide Award "as one of
the best on the Internet for quality, accuracy of content, presentation and
usability."  Those nice Encyclopedia people (who run an exceedingly good
Internet Guide at <http://www.britannica.com/>) go on to say that the
Internet Search FAQ is a site that "Britannica editors have rated one of
the most valuable and reliable, in the company of an elite group of Web
sites."  Excuse my blushes, but (clears throat) let's get on with some real
work...

2. A new development coming over the Internet horizon is the weblog, or
Blog to its friends.  Blogs vary enormously, but essentially they are a
blend of on-line newsletter and discussion group - sites where individuals
and/or subscribers can post news stories, links, discussion points or the
detailed minutiae of their life.  Some are riveting, some are less so, and
the range of interests is idiosyncratic.  The form is still in its infancy
as far as providing useful research material is concerned, but the infant
shows promise.

To poke around among the bloggers try looking at the Blogs listed at:

EATONWEB BLOG PORTAL <http://www.eatonweb.com/portal/>
BLOGGER <http://www.blogger.com>
GROKSOUP <http://www.groksoup.com>

Look for the option to list by categories, or search on a particular search
term.  In addition, should you feel the urge to set up your own Blog, the
last two sites listed above will help you do it for free.

* USEFUL NEW AND UPDATED URLS *

- NETRIBUTION - Everything you wanted to know about the film industry, from
statistics and services to festivals and even films:
<http://www.netribution.co.uk/>
- SCOUR - search for downloadable music and clips: <http://www.scour.net/>
- SEARCH IQ - loads of links to search engines, guides, etc with reviews.
Confusingly laid out but worth persevering with if you have patience:
<www.searchiq.com>
