Dear DUers. Do you all know about Refdesk?

[Hoping4Change]

If you have never heard of Refdesk let me tell you it is the handiest web-site out there. Not only can you link to almost every on-line news source world-wide but also to hundreds of small town papers. It also has links every search engine as well as to fantastic sites like PublicRadioFan.com http://www.publicradiofan.com/


If you have kids it has My Homework Helper http://www.refdesk.com/homework. and How Stuff Works

REFDESK"S VISION STATEMENT: Avaritia facit Bardus -
Greed makes you stupid.


"Refdesk is only about indexing quality Internet sites and assisting visitors in navigating these sites.

Refdesk is not about revenue.

Refdesk is not about traffic.

Refdesk is not about promotional vehicles or any form of commercialism.

At Refdesk that is all that counts and that is all that will ever count. Since 1995, Refdesk free and family friendly."


I just love this site and wanted to spread the word. http://www.refdesk.com/

5. I've used it from time to time.

but, I think drudge dad's owns it. He made a comment once on the page that "Matt" was his son, he didn't have the last name. I assumed it to be him.

oops typo

8. Yeah Bob Drudge is Matt 's dad but as reported below they are two

different people "Whereas Matt Drudge is typecast as a Net gossip columnist, Bob Drudge would be better described as a Web librarian. A family therapist and social worker living in Maryland, Drudge began refdesk.com as a "diversion" in 1995, around the time Matt's newsletter was taking off. It was, he says, a way to "create and maintain order" in the chaos of the Web."

7. Not to pin the sins of the sons on their fathers, but . . . .

Refdesk is Matt Drudge's father's site.

Or so Smart Husband tells me.
