  About.com http://www.about.com Find out about (almost) anything  About emphasises what the Internet is good at – providing an eclectic mix of information for every conceivable interest. The site is basically a set of links to other web pages, but categorised and edited into a sort of guide form for each subject. Thus each area has a separate editor who provides some advice and commentary and recommends outstanding sites. The range of links is outstanding, and quickly leads you to the information you were looking for. This is usually one of the drawbacks of web surfing, that there is so much low quality information it’s hard to find anything useful through a standard web search. With about, once you have found the category area for your interests, the links are guaranteed to be of pretty good quality.
