Internet is now offering more information for free, than ever before

It never ceases to amaze me at what can be found on the internet, especially for free. The trick is to know how to ask the question on the search engine. Google is very helpful, you can navigate their help site and it will give you all kinds of tips and tricks to make your searches more successful.

Another online development that is now happening, is that big time newspapers like the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal have made their papers free for the browsing, on their websites. This is in response to the declining number of people who no longer subscribe to newspapers, but go online to get their news fix. The Wall Street Journal is especially a sweet deal, because they have sister sites that are devoted to certain markets, like The Real Estate Journal. This is so much easier than spending the day at the library, and cheaper than buying a ton of publications every week. The Realty Times is another great source of real estate information, and the chances are your local newspaper is also online and free. My paper only requires you to register online to have free access.

The papers are shifting the source of revenues from the consumer to the advertisers, but the consumer really benefits. Anyway, I will list a handfull of links to some of the sites I mentioned. If anyone has other sites, please let us know the links.

Harry I have to say that knowing how to ask the search for what you are looking for is tough at times
