Read What Our Users Have to Say

I don't exactly know when I first discovered the Scout Project newsletters, but I first started using the Internet in 1994 -- that's the Internet equivalent of when dirt was new -- and I must have subscribed shortly afterward.

Throughout the years, I've looked forward to Fridays because that's when I knew the newsletter would arrive. Every issue, I've been amused, bemused, intrigued, fascinated, puzzled, charmed... well, you get the drift. I'm Canadian, and sometimes the items will be so American-centric I just roll my eyes at the centre-of-the-universe aura. But, usually in the very next item, there's a story about something universally interesting and there I go, soaring off into the wild blue of the Internet to pour through the nuggets, garnets, diamonds and rubies you've managed to discover among the dross -- and, Lord, there's so much dross.Thanks for persevering, Chris -- as a newsletter editor myself, I know that sometimes it's tough to do what you're doing -- but just the way the items are worded, I know that you are just as amused, bemused, intrigued, fascinated... well, you get the drift.

And I know you've had to wade through the muck to find the good stuff, so, thanks for doing that for me, too. Keep them hip-waders up for the next 10 years, will you.... 2014... Jeez. That's the Internet equivalent of when the Sun dies.

Thanks for the encouragement to comment on the Scout Report. I've been on your list-serve for the past five years, or so, and I find your choice of sites to recommend to be very well chosen.

I pay particular attention to the sites involved with the physical sciences, as a professor who teaches physics and astronomy, but I invariably cut, paste, and email sites from other academic disciplines to my friends on the faculty whose interests lie in those areas.

For myself, I read the Scout Report because it provides information on web-sites that is very current and that I seldom find mentioned by other information sources.

Your descriptions are succinct and enable me to make a quick decision as to whether or not I want to explore these sites. I appreciate your judgement as to the sites you profile and I hope that this 10 year-anniversary is only the first of many more decade-long anniversaries to come.

Congratulations with your tenth birthday!

In my opinion the Scout Reports are a treasure for many professions. I am now working at a Teacher Training College and scanning the reports every week is very inspiring and rewarding. Keep the good work going !

I have been reading the Scout Report since its inception, back in the days when total web pages worldwide was millions, or less. I don't remember how I first got hooked up with it. The Scout Report has been for me a source of unusual, interesting, funky and offbeat websites.

Although I don't have time anymore to check out most of the content, there are usually one or two sites that pique my curiosity enough.
