The WEBster has long been known as one of the best places to get news about the World Wide Web, especially commercial developments. But strangely until recently it has been an email only service. The wait finally ended in April 1995 when the WEBster began offering its services via the Web. The commercial slant of this site is obvious and makes no apology. The latest issue is sponsored by Silicon Graphics and the tone of the news pieces is enthusiastic, to say the least, about the present commercial expansion on the Web.
Be that as it may, this is still one of the best places to access to find new developments on the Web. The news features are not mere neutral rehashings of the more established computer news media but are original and in-depth spins on developments in the World Wide Web. There are some Infomercials, but they are unobtrusive and provide interesting and useful information, as Web advertisers should. One of the best sections is the hotlist, which provides brief reviews and links to some of the new links on the Web. This list is distinguished from many of the Web hotlists purveyed by the paper-based media services in that it highlights sites that are genuinely engaging in the issues raised by the Web itself. It also sports a number of alternative type webs that are usually missed by the mainstream such as a children's literature web and the Journal of Electronic Publishing, in other words, innovative efforts that truly extend the capacity of the Web rather than simply trying to shoehorn old marketing content onto electronic pages.
This is the first place I'd check if I wanted to find out what were the latest developments on the Web.
