Internet Buddy: Web Journal

Internet Buddy: Web Journal Review



InternetBuddy Web Journal is foremost an "address book" for websites that require user registration. The first section allows you to record the websites you are registered at, their URL, your "User Name", "Password", and "PIN" or "Account Number"--in general--the site information required to gain access. Many people find their "User Name" is more dificult to remember than their password. For example, some sites don't permit spaces, some sites limit you to eight characters, and if your name is Smith or Jones you have to add a number after your real name to register. Using InternetBuddy Web Journal is much safer than recording your passwords on your computer's hard drive, which can be read while you are on-line by clever hackers. All of us take our computers in for service or upgrades by computer store technicians--and a hard drive crash could destroys bookmarks, and would leave us without our access information to our favorite sites.

The second section of the Web Journal allows the user to record all best sites visited in 45 general subject areas like "Science", "Film Reviews", "Health and Fitness", etc.

The third section of the book is used to document purchases made over the Internet. Disputes with vendors can be avoided if you use this section to record the terms of purchase, including: item, warranty, any rebates, price, shipper, shipping date, the telephone number of the firm and any miscellaneous information.
