Overlawyered
When I first heard of Overlawyered.com in a Salon article, I thought it was a fairly good idea for a site; it takes a thorough look at the rampant use of lawsuits for personal gain in America today. And when I arrived at Overlawyered.com, I was pleasantly suprised to see this message:
Welcome Salon.com readers, Bill O'Reilly listeners. We're cited in Janelle Brown's excellent article on parental lawsuits against teachers ("L is for Lawsuit", Jul. 12) which mentions our subpage on overlawyered schools...
Not only am I being personally welcomed, as someone who followed the Salon link, but in the same sentence I am linked to the exact page that the Salon author specifically mentioned. Many sites seem to be clueless that they've been cited in a popular news forum and readers are forced to search frustratingly for the information they want.
In addition, visitors who hadn't come from Salon were being linked back to Janelle Brown's feature. This is excellent site maintentance. Those behind Overlawyered.com knew I was coming, knew what I would be looking for and gave me a friendly, relevant welcome. And in return, I have passed their link on to you.
