The E-Sylum:  Volume 10, Number 36, September 10, 2007, Article 22

MORE ON THE NNDB NAME DATABASE

Last week's Featured Web Site was suggested by John and Nancy Wilson
who wrote: "Put in almost anyone famous and you will get a detailed
history of that person."

Arthur Shippee writes: "If by 'detailed' one means 'cribbed from
old and out of date sources', well, maybe. It would be interesting
to compare these articles against Wikipedia."

[I'd agree that this site doesn't necessarily offer new information.
There are many, many sites that repackage information from other
sources.  Sometimes the repackaging adds a useful level of organization,
and sometimes it just gets in the way.  I didn't spend much time
investigating this one, but wasn't able to find out just what "NNDB"
stands for.  Still, like any other site it's worth a try, just keep
in mind that there could always be a better site just around the
corner. -Editor]
