The Internet
IE - more confusion

Random Finds
Just a few things I found recently through my travels around the Web:

Perhaps the coolest ads yet?
Now here’s a Web ad I don’t mind.
(Roll over the far upper right corner)
Unobtrusive, yet highly informative. Smart, very smart. Now if only we could get rid of the huge 300×300 ads that sit square in the middle of the articles I’m trying to read!

Massively Multiplayer Gaming
