Product Description

InternetBuddy Web Journal is foremost an "address book" for websites that require user registration. The first section allows you to record the websites you are registered at, their URL, your "User Name", "Password", and "PIN" or "Account Number"--in general--the site information required to gain access. Many people find their "User Name" is more dificult to remember than their password. For example, some sites don't permit spaces, some sites limit you to eight characters, and if your name is Smith or Jones you have to add a number after your real name to register. Using InternetBuddy Web Journal is much safer than recording your passwords on your computer's hard drive, which can be read while you are on-line by clever hackers. All of us take our computers in for service or upgrades by computer store technicians--and a hard drive crash could destroys bookmarks, and would leave us without our access information to our favorite sites.

The second section of the Web Journal allows the user to record all best sites visited in 45 general subject areas like "Science", "Film Reviews", "Health and Fitness", etc.

The third section of the book is used to document purchases made over the Internet. Disputes with vendors can be avoided if you use this section to record the terms of purchase, including: item, warranty, any rebates, price, shipper, shipping date, the telephone number of the firm and any miscellaneous information.

From the Publisher
It's ironic. Most of us have an address book to record the addresses and telephone numbers of people we may only write or visit once every three years. And until now, with the publication of InternetBuddy Web Journal, there hasn't been an organized address book for websites we visit each week. This book was written to make its owner more organized and efficient in using the Internet. Use Internet Buddy and never forget a password again. And Internet Buddy also uses separate Security Cards for recording especially sensitive passwords and account numbers, such as to our financial sites, enhancing the security of access information to these sensiitive sites.

This Journal was written to make using the Internet more fun and efficient. One of the largest and best printers of address books and appointment calendars was chosen to print IntertnetBuddy Web Journal to insure quality the user can see and feel. The book is bound in Burgandy vinyl with Gold embossing, and it lays perfectly flat when open for ease of writing. Start using this book and notice the improvement in accessing your favorite websites.

From the Author
Before I wrote this book, my children and I were recording the passwords to our favorite sites on 3x5 cards scattered in desk drawers or across my desk top. I also heard complaints from co-workers about losing the names of favorite sites or forgetting passwords. I knew this book was needed by my family, and if so, by yours too!

Customer Reviews

This book simplified my Internet use!
This book helps me keep track of all my usernames and passwords for each different site I'm registered at. I used to record my Internet usernames and passwords on stickies all over my monitor and desktop. Now all of that information sits neatly on the shelf next to me. All of the sites I visit are listed alphabetically so retrieving information is quick and easy.

Before I started using this book, if I forgot my username or password, I had to register with a site again. I ended up having two or three different accounts at some sites. Also, I had only one or two passwords which I used again and agian. Now I can easily use a different password for each site I belong to.

This book is easy to use and is a fantastic organizational tool. You won't be disappointed.

Finally! Someone understands what a person needs!
I have bought several internet address books in the past. Regardless of quality, once it arrives, you are kind of stuck with it for something like this because it's just an address book. I've never liked a single one I've bought or looked at, and I've been forced to view internet address books as something I shouldn't be so picky about. Until now, that is! This very classy book is far, far superior to any other I've owned, has more useful features than I've ever encountered in this type of book before, and is so elegantly attractive and just the right size that this little book will always have a home on my desktop! The security card feature is an ingenious security feature for traveling, the writing space is compact, yet ample and very straigtforward to avoid unnecessary distractions, the "websites by subject" section is a nice bonus, and the shopping section is another nice add! I LOVE this book, and I will be giving it to all my family members who surf the web! Thanks for finally understanding the needs of a serious computer family!

Really helpful and hacker safe
This is a really handy book and here are my favorite features:
Spiral bound so it opens flat for easy writing.
Alphabetical organization by website name with sections for each letter of the alphabet. Many people keep their passwords on their computer somewhere, and these could be hacked. Keeping them on paper is safer.
Durable cover.
A decent amount of space for each entry, with helpful titles within each entry such as user name, password, phone number, PIN, notes.
The book even has suggestions for keeping the book secure from hacking. It is all very well thought out. It is worth paying the extra money over the other models, in my opinion. I liked it so much I am buying two more for gifts. I have been amazed at how many passwords I actually had once I started writing them all down!
