THE POCKET INTERNET

The Pocket Internet is a site of sites. You'll find almost everything here. I looked at the greeting cards but didn't think much of them. There is extensive legal information about hiring practices, identity theft, etc., as well as some downloads and games. I spent two hours just looking at stuff, so I'm sure you can too. I hardly got started with all the possible links!

EDMUNDS.COM

Edmunds.com blows the lid off the car lot with Confessions of a Car Salesman, where visitors learn what goes on in the back rooms of car dealerships, what that salesman does when he leaves you sitting in a sales office to go talk with his boss, the sales tricks used to increase profit, and how to avoid overpaying. Edmunds hired an investigative reporter to go underground and get first-hand experience living the life of a car salesman. It's a long article, but very interesting. If you're planning to buy another vehicle in the near future, this should be "have-to" reading.
