Search Engines vs Directories

Image
10 years ago, a search for free books on the internet would probably bring you to some adult sites. Today, search engine technology has developed a great deal, bringing pretty relevant search results to most internet users. In fact, recent report shows that search engines are driving more than 80% of internet traffic. Given the rapid improvements of search engine technology, majority of internet users today are relying on search engines rather than directories to find resources online. Although there are more than thousands of search engines and directories worldwide, only a few of them produce the majority of traffic. Among the most popular ones are Google, Yahoo and MSNSearch.

There weren't all the books and there definitely wasn't the internet around to be able to find helpful information. You had to rely on information provided by family and friends (which was not always the best or right thing). This article provides some insight into what was available to assist in caring for your baby then, and now. You didn't have much choice (if you were not breastfeeding) of the type of baby bottle to use. I only remember two and that was just a difference in the size. Only one nipple choice. If the hole wasn't large enough then you heated a needle and opened it up until it worked properly. If you opened it up too much, you threw the nipple away. There was also not much of a choice for formula either. I can only remember one, but I could be wrong. You did have a choice of either powder or liquid. And as for steriliz...

The Difference Between a Copy Editor and a Story Editor

Why? Because if the story is good, people will overlook a missing comma. But conversely, all the grammatical edits in the world will not bring a fictional story alive, without using various developmental techniques. From experience as a story editor of over 170 books, I've learned that a good story editor can make a novel work, however, a copy editor can not accomplish this alone. For example, I've worked with a copy editor who can go behind my work and improve any fictional manuscript I've completed. In fact, with her line edit, this editor might even discover holes in the story, which further tight...
