Today, web companies like Flickr and Google are making it possible for users to search, create, and discuss in ways never imagined, unlocking a universe of imagination and creative potential. We are witnessing the birth of a new, vastly more useful Internet. "Rule of the Web" is the user's manual. Uberblogger Mark Frauenfelder is a tech writer in a league of his own, with cutting edge web savvy and the ability to translate geek-speak into plain English. The blog he founded, Boing Boing, is an online tastemaker with two million regular readers. In "Rule of the Web", Mark points out the best tools and resources for doing everything from browsing anonymously to using disposable credit card accounts to shop online. The book includes: basic and advanced solutions for every problem; avoiding scams, safeguarding your privacy, and protecting your children; getting news and blog posts delivered automatically; generating the perfect stock portfolio and then tracking your finances online; setting up your own blog or podcast; and, everything Web 2.0: YouTube, MySpace, Flickr, and more.
