I've been writing about the Internet and search engines since 1996, when the first edition of Official Netscape Guide to Internet Research was published. Via my Web site ResearchBuzz, I've been writing about search engines, online databases ,and information collections since 1998.
I love helping people learn to find things online, and I love finding out about new resources and letting everyone know about them. Your support will let me do more and write more -- and, best of all, help more.

I WILL MAKE TRAPS FOR YOU -- Give me three topics and I'll generate a series of Google Alerts, IFTTT alerts, and other information traps that should help you get more information on your topic. Once a month I'll take a look at your topics and make some suggestions about how you could tweak them. If you care to give me feedback about how well the traps are working, I'll take that into consideration too. Consider it a monthly checkup to to pull the best information off the Internet you can. Note -- for ethical/legal reasons I will not help you create information traps for the following: people (except elected political officials), sexual topics, racist/sexist/otherwise-ist topics, and topics that encompass activities which are illegal under Federal law. You must have or be willing to use Google Alerts, IFTTT, and RSS feeds. This reward is limited to ten people.

I WILL TRAP FOR YOU -- Give me three topics and I'll generate a series of information traps for you and send you links by e-mail, tag you on Facebook, update a shared Google Doc, or something similar to keep you posted. You can send me feedback on what you're getting and I'll tweak the traps as best I can. It's like a bot, only I've been doing this for 20+ years and I won't guess that a picture of deviled eggs is actually cake. Note -- for ethical/legal reasons I will not do information trapping on the following: people (except elected political officials), sexual topics, racist/sexist/otherwise-ist topics, and topics that encompass activities which are illegal under Federal law. This reward is limited to three people.

Instead of articles once a week, you'll get articles twice a week. No fear that I'll run out of ideas. Have you looked at the Internet? And again, the articles are CC BY-NC-SA.
