FreePint 249 has been published and is available at:

http://www.freepint.com/issues/

In this issue:

* "Life Beyond Google: Some of the Best of the Rest". Google search is the acknowledged search engine leader, but that doesn't mean that other search engines are obsolete. Mary Ellen Bates provides an overview of alternative search engines featuring metasearch and data visualization for more powerful search results than possible with Google alone.

* "RSS Feeds: Managing the Mechanism". RSS feeds can be an efficient way to monitor meaningful news on the web, but it's all too easy to get swamped. Martin Belam offers practical tips for managing RSS feeds to help users to get the most of these useful tools without feeling overwhelmed.

Now available: the new FUMSI Magazine! Download your copy from http://web.fumsi.com/go/magazine/, then find out more about subscribing at http://www.fumsi.com/how/join/.
