Rule the Web!
I’ve been lazily thumbing through Mark Frauenfelder’s book Rule the Web for the last several weeks. Then I came across this review by Kevin Kelly in his Cool Tools site (highly recommend site!). Kevin gives a nice, brief review. The book focuses on how to use the web more efficiently and effectively. Hence the subtitle “How to do anything and everything on the internet – better, faster, easier”.
Cool and useful stuff. Read Kevin’s review and see his example. Some of the things I learned include finding promo codes, using a mobile phone to check prices while in a store, getting magazine articles, how to use one time credit card numbers and a host of other neat tricks. Like Kevin I’ve found myself ear-tagging several pages and marking them up. This is also a great book to simply jump around and look for the cool stuff. I’ve been skimming it and just simply opening it up to a section. The sections are brief and easy to use.
