About nothing
When I google a topic and end up at About.com, it’s got to be awfully good or me terribly desperate to make me stick around with such a tiny window of information drowning in ads bouncing off the side boards.
Re:About nothing
I thought the same thing too, but I figured I’d give it another shot. After finding nothing useful using the search box I went to the locate topics alphbetically box (a nightmarish page design if I ever saw one) and choose L for libraries and librarians.
Nothing, nada, zip…however there were several topics about lesbians and lesbian erotica.
Maybe they can find a place for Jayson Blair!
