Advance Praise / Reviews
"Even though Mark knows the answer to every question you have ever asked (including, but not limited to: Where is my e-mail? How much is my house worth? Where can I find the ketchup in the supermarket? How many blogs should I have? 30?). He is not a living super-computer, nor is he connected to one by thousands of wires leading from his brain. He is simply using a tool called the Internet, and he is using it better than you. Luckily, besides being super-smart, he is also very friendly, and he has written it all down here for you, on non-electric pages which even you can understand."
John Hodgman, author of The Areas of My Expertise and correspondent for The Daily Show
"When it comes to capturing the zeitgeist of the Web, nobody does it better than Boing Boing's Mark Frauenfelder. He's been doing it longer than nearly anyone I know."
John Battelle, author of The Search: How Google and Its Rivals Rewrote the Rules of Business and Transformed Our Culture, and founder of The Industry Standard
"My mom used to keep a dog-eared Joy of Cooking in her kitchen stuffed with recipe cards, trial and error results, and handwritten notes on every page. Rule the Web is like that, only it's about the Web instead of meatloaf. It's a compendium of the kind of pragmatic, friendly, tried-it-myself advice your mom or dad might give you about the Internet—if they knew as much about the online world as Mark Frauenfelder does."
Xeni Jardin, NPR News technology contributor
"Mark Frauenfelder doesn't just live on the cutting edge . . . He is on the cutting edge. If Mark thinks it's important, then it is. Hurry and buy a copy before they're all gone."
Seth Godin, author of Small is the New Big
"Deep in the future, Mark rules a technological utopia we cannot even begin to imagine—thankfully, he's kind enough to send back bits of brain candy digestible by us mere mortals. Here's to our future selves!"
Evan Williams, co-creator of Blogger.com and the CEO of Odeo.com
"[BoingBoing is a] tastemaker . . . a technology blog that is read by geeks the world over."
The New Yorker
