About About.com

About.com is a good place to start with if you are looking for information about something. It has information on just about anything you can think of. It is not a search engine though, nor is it an encyclopedia; at about.com you can find detailed information about a topic, written by experts in their respective fields. You can therefore be assured of the authenticity of the information that you find there.

About.com home page is neat and well laid out, though a first time visitor may be slightly overwhelmed by the sheer number of links. Since all information on this site is from an expert guide, there is a personal touch. Most pages are written in a matter of fact way and they are conversational in tone.
