Randy Cassingham's Bonzer Web Sites of the Week: Recognizing Interesting Sites that are Beyond the Microsoft/AOL-Time Warner/Media Megalith

CaringBridge

This non-profit site allows people to create special web sites to keep family and friends informed during "difficult times" (medical problems, military deployment, etc.) The CaringBridge software does the work so people can just use it to communicate, rather than try to learn how to create web sites. More than 183,000 sites have been created for families to keep in touch at no cost to them, and with no advertising on the site. To keep things private visitors have to know an exact URL to get to an individual site, and the family can add password protection for extra privacy.

The Middle Place
by Kelly Corrigan
Amazon Price: $3.95
Customer Review: Typically I am a fiction reader, but we are reading this in my book club this month. You can't pick apart Kelly because she's a real in the flesh person, and people aren't as perfect as the characters we can create for fiction.
I work in radi...
