2009 Calender Week 50, December 7th
This site lists the Internet resources, software, search engines etc. which the author finds the most useful. The idea is to present with a short description only the arguably very best findings in various categories. The criteria for inclusion are:
- Usability
-
- Free availability (only freeware, where downloads are concerned)
-
- Ease of handling (no IT expertise required)
-
The Internet will be continuously monitored for new developments, but of the hundreds of findings within a week only a few, if none at all for individual weeks may be included here.
