THE BRASS RING A search engine is a good
way to track down information on the Web, but it's not the only way, nor is it
always the best way. Over the next few tips, we'll explore a few alternatives
to search engines that are suitable for return visits. A Web ring is a group of
related sites you can visit by jumping from one to another, either in random
order or in a "circle." More than 40,000 rings are registered with
the WebRing service, and Web rings have special appeal and usefulness to those
with niche interests. Say you like historical romances, for example. There are
43 sites in the Historical Romances ring, enough to keep you swooning for days
on end. There are all of 250 sites in the All Things Ferrety ring for ferret
enthusiasts, while the Ring of Turkish Anesthesiologists boasts 7 sites. You
get the idea. The WebRing home page lists rings in categories, by subject. last updated: Monday, 24. May 1999 09:47:08 -0500 |
