Telling the Internet Players With a Good Program

August 1994--Berkeley, CA--The old saw "You can't tell the players without
a program" couldn't be more apt than when referring to the Internet. With
23 million users, 8,000 electronic conferences, and 25 million bytes of
new information added every day, the Internet can seem like a gigantic,
faceless place. Finding out what newsgroups exist on it and what they're
like can be overwhelming.

What's on the Internet, Winter 1994/95 is the only guide to the contents of
the Internet's core--its online discussion and information groups. With
mini-reviews of 1,600 of the most popular newsgroups, sidebars of Internet
anecdotes, apocrypha and an analysis, and many photos and images
downloaded straight from the Net, this book is not only extremely
informative and useful but lots of fun. It's for new and experienced Net
users alike who want to connect with business colleagues, make friends,
share interests, or exchange information.

What's on the Internet organizes the selected newsgroups into categories
covering most areas of life. Under each category it lists: encapsulated
descriptions of what each group is all about; ratings of each group's
usage and a sampling of subjects discussed in it; and Frequently Asked
Question (FAQ) files--some 21,000 in all--which offer lots of useful
inside info. The book also includes:

* A 3,400-word alphabetically organized subject index
* A list of more than 7,000 Internet newsgroups
* A coupon for a free (with $5 for shipping) Mac/PC disk
  for easily finding groups by keyword.
