Summary of How to Do Everything with Yahoo!

This work is a comprehensive guide to using Yahoo. Advice is given on how to create a Web site using Yahoo, how to obtain free e-mail and customize the Yahoo screen and how to store private information securely on Yahoo's servers.
You can do just about anything on Yahoo!--the site that started out as a popular Web subject tree, and has morphed into a center for doing everything from finding a job to finding a date. How to Do Everything with Yahoo! documents the site's capabilities as they were in the third quarter of 2000. Essentially, author Alan Neibauer talks about Yahoo! as if it were a powerful application, and not a Web site. This is an appropriate approach (on Yahoo's part, as well as Neibauer's). Even if you use the site all of the time, this book likely will introduce you to cool things that you can do with--or that you never knew existed on--the popular portal.

The book begins at the registration process that gets you a free Web-based e-mail account. Calendar management, maps, auctions, travel, and the rest of the services that your registration gives you access to--including the surfer-friendly subject tree that made Yahoo! famous in the first place--are covered next. You'll find lots of references to other sites, too. One potential flaw lies in the explicit procedures that advise the reader to "choose this, click that"--they aren't well suited to Web services like Yahoo!, and too often they become obsolete without notice, anyway. --David Wall
