Netting The Internet

Some of Our Favorite Sites
Every week, cyber scope reviews Web sites that are interesting, funny, occasionally controversial and, above all, useful. But many Web sites don’t get written up simply for lack of space. Here are some of this week’s favorites, in no particular order.

  • Netflix.com Mail-orders DVD rentals. Flat monthly rate of $19.95, and you can keep movies, up to three at a time, as long as you want.

  • Randomaccessmemory.org A searchable archive of memories, submitted by Web users and organized by date, name and subject. Lovely design, quirky content.

  • Virtuallythere.com Personalized travels portal that consolidates your itineraries and lets you view them using wireless devices.

  • Quickbrowse.com A free tool designed to make surfing easier by collecting your frequently visited sites and stringing them together into one long, scrollable Web page.

  • Iping.com Need a wake-up call? Go to this free site, input your phone number, schedule the call and consider it done.

  • Google.com Yeah, we know Google’s not new. But the popular search engine has added a phonebook feature. Type first name, last name and state (e.g. John Doe, OH) in the regular keyword-search field. It’s so good it’s scary.

  • bradkent.com/wrappers: Home of “The Quasi-Comprehensive Candy Bar Wrapper Image Archive.” Try to stump it.
