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. "
