The Internet Guide

Your Online Resource Guide to the Internet

I have been searching and exploring the Internet for years. (Since 1994 to be exact) I have come across some very interesting sites along the way. I figured since there is a T.V. guide why not a I.G. guide. There are so many more websites than TV shows, it only makes sense!

Think about it, according to Nielsen/NetRatings (nielsennetratings.com) as of May 2006 there are an estimated 475,021,461 websites on the Internet. And by the year 2007, there will be 1.35 billion users globally. [eTForecasts, Sept 2004]. If you are looking for something, chances are, I've either seen it, or know how to go about finding it. This just starting out. I will be adding more daily. I have put together some really interesting links for you to explore so take some time to just have a little bit of fun, find what you've been looking for.

At first, these sites will be not in alphabetical order. Simply as I add them, then once the majority are listed I will organize them. Thanks for your patience!
