In this issue: E-LIST is back
Web site recommendations: IT/misc

I apologize for the long break. I have now finished writing my
dissertation and E-LIST will appear regularly again. I will continue to
work on my dissertation topic - differences in people's Web use skills -
and will be sending out articles to journals in the coming months. I'll
also be working on a book manuscript so the excitement continues.:) But
so will E-LIST!:)

And now onto today's list of links.

don't want to support it, I'd be very curious to hear why)
