Web Gems
Sites worth knowing, including some of my own
THERE ARE SO MANY WEBSITES it is impossible to keep up with all the good ones. I’ve selected a few of my current favorites.
BirdingBusiness.com
Yes,
Birding Business has a new Web site. The site features up-to-the-minute
industry news and product releases, the online version of the Buyer’s
Guide, and articles from the magazine. Sign up for the coming e-mail
newsletter or the RSS feed. Combined with this magazine, it is your
best source for industry
information.
LivingBird.org
The Cornell
Lab of Ornithology’s new Living Bird Web site is a thing of beauty and
will not remain in the hidden category for long. Living Bird magazine
has long been a premier bird publication and the new online version
features audio and video recordings.
ProfessorBird.com
The Professor Bird site is dedicated to questions and answers about
wild birds. It currently features over 200 questions, many of which
include images, audio, video and animated files as part of the answers.
Site visitors can submit their wild bird-related questions. Selected
questions are added to the searchable database for the site.
(ProfessorBird.com is part of my own network of Web sites.)
Quantcast.com
Quantcast is
one of several Internet ratings services. The site provides traffic
information on millions of Web sites, including traffic, basic
demographics of site visitors, and keywords used to find a specific
site. It’s a good place to check out your own Web site and compare it
to others in your market. The site is currently free.
