Have you ever gotten really frustrated at a search engine and wished you could just ask your question in plain English? Then take a look at Ask Jeeves, the first no-frills search engine that lets you search the Internet the way you really want to. Ask Jeeves a question and he will simultaneously search through all the most popular search engines to provide you with easy to navigate results. If you're a search engine fan, or just plain sick of cryptic searches, give old Jeeves a try.Ask Jeeves: http://www.askjeeves.com
***Book Heaven***
If you surf the Net a lot, you've probably seen or heard of Amazon.com (one of the most successful sites on the Net). What you might not have realized is that nestled in this mega online bookstore is a valuable resource (whether or not you intend buy your books online). Take a trip over to Amazon.com and follow the Titles in the News link for a great selection of book reviews from the most influential reviewers like NPR, New York Times Book Review, New Yorker, Wired, and Oprah Winfrey's amazingly popular Book Club. This is a great place to preview books and find some real gems.Amazon Books: http://www.amazon.com
***Laugh Part III***
Of all the sites I have mentioned in the past few months, I have gotten a great deal of positive feedback on the ones that make you laugh. With such a great track record, I thought I'd round off my run on comedy sites with one called Smile. Check out Smile every day for a fresh serving of stuff that will make you smile. With the best chuckles from David Letterman (including his Top 10), Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien and Bill Maher, Smile is a worthy addition to your daily surf.
