User reviews
La carrellata di estratti dei siti è varia, informativa e internazionale. Il loro insieme permette di farsi una prima idea veloce e articolata. Più limitati i riferimenti commerciali, ma per le mie ricerche è un pregio. E poi si può dare anche a un bambino, per esercizio di lettura, perché il risultato è solo testo. Ottimo ed efficace punto di accesso a notizie generali e varie. *****
