WebTV's Customer Care Specialists often come across cool and unusual
places to visit on the Web. Every month we'll share some of the best we've
found with you, along with lots of terrific sites submitted by Club WebTV members,
which are noted by an asterisk (*).
You are welcome to submit sites to us for the Serendipity column
that are unique and would be of interest to the general membership. Send
the "Best of the Best" sites to ClubWebTV@webtv.net,
and be sure to include the site's FULL address (http://.....), the name
of the page you're submitting, and a short description of why you believe
it should be included in Serendipity. Without further ado:
Here are March's best picks:
The Andresen Family
WebTV Home Page:
As many Club WebTV members already know, Denise and Eric
Andresen publish and maintain a truly selfless and particularly useful
and informative site for the sole benefit of WebTV Networks customers. Among the
many features included on their site, you'll find the Guestbook, where
WebTV'ers may post comments, suggestions and questions, links to other
WebTV users' pages, technical information, and WebTV Special Interest Group
(SIG) News. Make a special place in your Favorites for this special site
- you'll want to visit often!
