+Additions: +Internet Monthly Report; +The Web Word; +WEBster; +FYI
The Internet is full of many high-quality publications about the net
itself. But surprise, surprise, like everything else 'round here they're
tough to find. Here's some guidance on what's out there and what's good.
Some are pointers to other net resources, some address broader issues of
the net. Some are free, some cost $$$. Be warned that some of these are
startups, which often fail to live up to their promise and publication
schedule.
FEEDBACK Y'ALL: This is just an initial pass. Let us know about any
other good e-journals or newsletters discussing the Internet, paid or free.
Send details and copies to higgins@dorsai.dorsai.org and savetz@northcoast.com.

USENET - alt.internet.services, alt.culture.internet, alt.etext
MUST-READS (Guides, newsgroups, etc): alt.internet.services; Net-
Happenings mailing list (or comp.internet.net-happenings); Yanoff's Special
Internet Services List; NetSurfer Digest; Scout Report.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
BITS AND BYTES (Free): Good computer miscellanea. But why do so many
publications grab snippets of Edupage, an excellent infotech e-pub? On the
long side.
E-MAIL - To: listserv@acad1.dana.edu
Subject: ignored
Body: SUBSCRIBE bits-n-bytes [case matters!]
GOPHER - gopher.dana.edu: /Electronic Journals
FTP - ftp.dana.edu: /periodic
+COMPUTER-MEDIATED COMMUNICATION (Free): Sounds a little academic. But
since it's edited by the master of the colossal CMC guide, we have great
faith. Can't review it because the web link's been down for a month.
WWW - http://www.rpi.edu/~decemj/cmc/mag/current/toc.html
CYBERWIRE DISPATCH (Free): Very high quality coverage of the Internet and
cyberspace. Editor Brock Meeks (a reporter for Communications Daily )
became famous by getting sued for libel by a "make.money.fast"-type. Short.
Soon to become part of HotWIRED.
E-MAIL - To: majordomo@cyberwerks.com

EFFECTOR (Free): The Electronic Frontier Foundation's membership
newsletter, great for telecom policy updates. Short
E-MAIL - To: brown@eff.org
Subject: Subscribe Effector?
Body: Ask nicely!
USENET - comp.org.eff {preferred!}
GOPHER - gopher.eff.org

+FYI - ($$$) Well written (though blandly named), FYI covers a range of
Internet topics that seems focused on the commercial aspects of the net.
One recent issue addressed Compu$erve's push into Internet access, a new
net catalog venture, and the creation of a new cyberspace magazine. Nicely
written, but worth $40 a year? Free samples readily available.
E-MAIL - To: fyi@marketplace.com
Subject: fyi
Body: Humans here, ask nicely

Human contact: fyihart@aol.com
HotWIRED (Free): A shill sheet for Wired Magazine. Relentlessly
self-promotional and pretty lame. We're addicts for the real magzine, but
this weekly is a thinly-disguised press release. Blissfully short. The
editors promise us that it will soon become a "real" publication. Cyberwire
Dispatch will soon reside here.
E-MAIL- To: info-rama@wired.com

Body: subscribe hotwired
+THE INTERNET INFORMER (Shareware): A startup coming in October promising
news from both the virtual and real worlds including topics like business,
legal issues, "MuD Times", "UseNet Life", etc. Ambitious, so it'll be
interesting to see if they can deliver. Seeking a $1 donation from
subscribers.
E-MAIL - To: Informer@Cris.Com
Subject: Subscribe
Body: Subscribe Informer
+INTERNET MONTHLY REPORT (Free): IMR announces the online
accomplishments, milestones, and problems discovered by a variety of
organizations in the Internet community. Very long, 100k-plus.

JASBITS (Free): Computer and net miscellanea. What it lacks in newsiness
it makes up in entertainment value.
E-MAIL - To: jsquires@cerf.net
Subject: Ignored
Body: Subscribe Your Name
META MAGAZINE (Free): A monthly mostly about net-related stuff. Not bad,
but could use a little more meat. Worth a test drive, if you can handle
the Web-only nature of the pub.
WWW - ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/mlinksva/meta.html
NETSURFER DIGEST (Free for now): An interesting startup that crisply
reviews a wide range of net topics and resources. For example, one issue
discussed some interesting disagreements among the net.gods, pointed to a
furious thread on anti-feminsim that had broken out on alt.mens-rights,
and offered pointers to a few cool publications. It's in beta testing
right now, so the addresses, etc., may change quickly. So may the price.

NETWORK OBSERVER (Free): Monthly commentary and bits about the net.
Lengthy.
E-MAIL - To: rre-request@weber.ucsd.edu
Subject: subscribe Your Name
Body: NADA
NETWORKS & COMMUNITY (Free): The emphasis here is on "community" in
Internet-land. Short and less techie than you might expect. Too much
excerpting from other net sources, particularly Edupage.
E-MAIL - To: cvington@netcom.com
Subject: ignored
Body: SUBSCRIBE YOUR NAME

NSF NETWORK NEWS (Free): Bi-monthly news on the real nuts and bolts of
the net. Mucho techie, but one issue had a good overview to telecom
legislation in Congress.

SCOUT REPORT (Free): Forget building campfires. Scout Report is a weekly
featuring new resource announcements. News reports about the net were
promised but are pretty lean. Put out by gods at InterNIC.

+THE WEB WORD - Ah, the Web. Another tool to make our lives easier that
has become overwhelmingly complex. This startup monthly aims to give
pointers like the top 10 sites, news, and how-to tips. Pretty good.
Quizically, it's only available by e-mail at launch. Long.
