While roaming around the web, I came across a really interesting blog called Lifehacker, which has a lot of great tips and informational articles relating to everyday life situations. One particular entry, Top 10 Fixes For the Web’s Most Annoying Problems by Adam Dachis, caught my eye. Dachis provides some simple solutions to annoying web browsing issues such as too many ads, ugly & confusing websites, sites that want you to register for an account to preview their services, managing multiple social media, fake online reviews, and more. This blog is worth checking out if you find yourself annoyed by some of these problems and may be useful to you in serving your patrons, as well. — Jill R.
