Well, it is the first Double Click column of 2009!  Hard to believe we are here again.  As usual…per the many email requests I received, we will look at all of the Internet sites I mentioned last year.  So sit back and get your fingers ready.  By-the-way, if you are a clicker you can go to the DoubleClicks.info site and read the column the day it comes out in the paper and actually click the links.

You asked for it, you’ve got them (in order of their appearance) with short descriptions when needed.

• My Space.com & Facebook.com, – the top two social networking sites.
• Twitter.com, twitter.com/rondoyle – my personal social networking site, from one of the top five, but my favorite.
• Google Maps – excellent mapping site with hotels, landmarks, etc.
• Zune.com – home of Microsoft’s MP3 player.
• iPod/iTunes – home of Apple’s MP3 player.
