"Secrets" mentioned in the title aren't secrets in reality. For someone who use the Internet often books like that are completely useless. To discover these "secrets" you just need to click several links on sites. Everything mentioned here can be found via Google, most features are not longer available today.
I don't know what I was thinking when I started reading this book. Must be the most, and I emphasize, the MOST useless book that I have ever read. You don't need this book to know any "Secrets" if you are an avid Internet user. This is a "how-to guide book" for aliens who don't know what the Internet is.
