SURVEY SAYS: Web Site Results
January 11, 2001 - It doesn't seem to matter how
much time you spend on the Web - the reader-respondents to
yesterday's survey contributed a few sites that we hadn't
stumbled across (yet). The diversity of readers and workers
made tabulation a bit of a challenge - but we were gratified
to find
www.PlanSponsor.com
a popular response, and we're sure
http://www.benefitslink.com
Dave Baker will be similarly gratified at the well-deserved
frequency of citation of his site. Others frequently cited
included
www.ebri.org
(employee benefits research institute),
http://www.shrm.org
(society of human resource management),
http://www.freeerisa.com
and
www.morningstar.com
.

Several cited the DOL ( www.dol.gov ) and IRS sites (and don’t forget the new cross-agency search engine, http://www.firstgov.gov/ ).
Readers gleaned market/stock information from http://www.smartmoney.com , www.cnn.com , www.bloomberg.com , www.ceoexpress.com , www.moneycentral.com and www.finance.yahoo.com .
