           TODAY'S TOURBUS TOPIC: Revenge of the Riders #3


In the process of rolling out the Internet Tourbus to 80000+ readers
in 127 countries, I probably send and receive more e-mail than most
people.  A couple hundred messages per day crowd into my virtual inbox,
but I always enjoy hearing from readers with suggestions for new sites
to visit on the Tourbus.

So today I'm featuring four web destinations brought to my attention
by Tourbus readers.  But before we roll out, be sure to visit our new
sponsors (BulletMail up in the Bus logo, and Candles Plus below) and
tell them you appreciate their support of Tourbus.

WORD OF THE DAY

Wow!  It's even better than that.  Each day on this site, there's a
word of the day, with translations and pronunciations.  You can click on
the word or phrase and hear it spoken in Afrikaans, Bulgarian, Mandarin,
Russian or many other languages.  I learned how to say "Where do you
live?" in Polish - just in case.


THE REVIEW ZONE
===============

Sure enough, there are dozens of reviews here to help you find educational
software for kids of all ages.  Also, there are some interesting articles
in the Family Computing section, and a great annotated list of links Just
For Girls.


THE HUMOR ZINE THING
====================

This zine, which was recently retitled Spackle, and features lots of original
humor including the Bud Uglly Web Site Design company.  If you want to see
some really ugly (and really funny) websites, check this one out!


FREE STUFF FOR WEB GEEKS
========================

>Dr. Webster's Amazing Free Stuff Page -  http://surf.to/free-stuff

This is a non-commercial "free stuff" site geared toward Webmasters
and Web site owners.  It focuses on free products and services that
HTML slingers can use to get the most out of their site, and also offers
plenty of goodies for people who don't run Web sites, including
free software and product samples.



See you next time!  --Bob
