Internet Informed: Guidance for the Dedicated Searcher

Description

"'Internet informed', we make better decisions. We innovate more swiftly. The internet promises this - except that it seems so slow and ill-equipped to answer the more challenging, rewarding questions we value most. To gather better information, we must fo more than toss words at a search engine. What else can we do? Many things. Big things. Little things. Grand things. There is structure, order and organization to consider. Quality, identity and history. A great deal of science. Even more common sense. Internet information organises along concepts like context, format and prominence. Marry these ideas to tools like Google's hidden URL field search and the Alt+Tab keys and we begin to see, understand and play in this world of information. We anticipate destinations. We ask better questions. We interact with the medium. We become internet ifnromed." - back cover.
