BRITANNICA BACK ONLINE The Encyclopedia Britannica (http://www.britannica.com) is back online again, following three weeks of building up its technology infrastructure after being swamped on opening day by 10 million users. Now free on the Internet and subsidized by advertising, the venerable encyclopedia now offers not only its own material but also news, features, "best sites," and even book recommendations. For example, their technology book recommendation today is "The Invisible Computer: Why Good Products Can Fail, the Personal Computer Is So Complex, and Information Appliances Are the Solution," by our friend Donald A. Norman.
