Congratulations to Internet Direct! Adam Engst of Tidbits fame was very complimetary of ID's list of world wide Internet providers (http://thelist.com/). In the most recent issue of Tidbits Engst said: (http://www.dartmouth.edu/Pages/TidBITS/issues/TidBITS-293.html) "...What struck me about The List was that as you scan through the listings of providers (which are sorted by country and by area code in the U.S.), you see a Rating field along with all the usual ones for contact information and services offered... ...I commend The List for adding this feature, and I'd like to see more lists adopt it. As long as users realize that such ratings and comments are merely data points and not to be taken as gospel, I think they're tremendously useful in aiding people who are trying to separate the electronic wheat from the digital chaff. I would like to see The List and similar services add the capability to sort list entries based on rating, and (in a list like an Internet service provider list) it would be ideal to be able to sort on some other fields as well, such as price. Even still, The List is a step in the right direction. "
