Introducing www.itservicetoday.com

You know what I'm like about sharing free info and stuff about ITIL...

Well, a colleague e-mailed me today to give me the link to a new specialist search engine that's dedicated to ITIL.

He said that it's got some kind of code in it that actually makes it 'biased' towards ITIL results - reagardless of what you search for.

So, I've taken it for a test drive and sure enough it really does link quickly to highly relevant linksIt links to stuff like ITIL: News, Articles, White Papers, Blogs and Training and Exam Information.

Plus, there's a free text search box for anything else.It's also got this new thing that I've not seen before - called 'QuickView'.

You open up a 'window within a window' on the same page - so you can quickly see the page that you might like to go visit - before you have to click there.

I find this really useful for opening many windows when I'm researching a topic. I think I'm going to carry on the test drive!!

Anyway, see what you think... www.itservicetoday.com
