Encyclopedia Britannica

Encyclopedia Britannica subscription is now free for the Blogger subscriber, actually for all web publishers. Web publishers mean every one who has a personal blog or website or any other kind of web portal where he publishes articles regularly. Encyclopedia Britannica is the only source of information at early days and still it is a good competitor of Wikipedia. As anyone can write in Wikipedia many people does not like Wikipedia as a reliable reference but Britannica is free from this blame. No encyclopedia contain detail information about anything this is also true for Encyclopedia Britannica; Britannica’s information could be good appetizer but not more than that.

Encyclopedia Britannica is used as a case study how new technology can disrupt a business. Every thing was great for the nearly 250 years for old privately held company until the internet came around. You can purchase the 32 volume Britannica, which has 65,000 articles and 44 million words, for just $1,400. Or you can access it on the web for $70 per year. Now here is the new site to get free access to Britannica called Britannica Webshare.

Anyway I got a one year free subscription as because I am the owner of this Blog. Remember nothing is worthless. It is not a huge thing but it is something like you.
