Some Good Organizations To Join
There are many organizations all over the internet which are useful to webmasters and other people on the internet. This is a list of some of the ones which I find useful.
Americans For Computer Privacy - This is the organization to take a look at if you are interested in privacy matters.
http://www.computerprivacy.org
Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) - One of the oldest organization of all. This group is huge and has so many benefits that it's impossible to list them here. It can be highly technical, and tends towards the theory and practice of computing. They have dozens of publications and for about a hundred bucks you get access to a huge online library of white papers and technical works.
http://www.acm.org
Better Ethics Online (BEO) - A great group all about the ethics of the online world. They have several lists of known spamming email addresses which can be used in filtering software.
http://actionsites.com/beo/index.html
Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial Email - Want to learn about spam and how to prevent it? This is a great organization to join and join the fight.
http://www.cauce.org
Cyber Crew - A group of volunteers which covers just about everything on the internet. More of a users group than anything else.
http://www.cyber-crew.com
HTML Writer's Guide - This organization has lots of good web-based courses and a certification program (Certified Web Professional). This group (which has merged with the International Webmasters association) has many other great features. Yearly members is about fifty bucks, and this gets you the courses at half price.
http://www.iwanet.org
IEEE - One of the very largest and oldest computer societies. In fact, computers are only a portion of what this organization offers. Thousands of papers are available online to members, and dozens of publications are published. This group tends to be highly technical and very in-depth.
http://www.ieee.org/portal/index.jsp
Internet Engineering Task Force - Interested in helping the internet as a whole? This group helps maintain the structure
and operation of the entire internet. This group is perhaps second in importance (and it could be classified as first according to some) to the W3C. They also archive and maintain RFC's, which are the documents which describe the protocols and standards of all of the internet.
http://www.ietf.org
Internet Society - Another huge organization dedicated to helping internet professionals. A large number of benefits are available.
http://www.isoc.org

Paint Shop Pro Users Group (PSPUG) - If you use Paint Shop Pro (one of the best graphics editors around), then this group is essential.
http://www.pspug.org
Web Master World - Want to learn about the web from professionals who actually know what they are doing, with a strong emphasis on promotion (especially using search engines)? If so, visit this forum, lurk for a while, then start posting your own opinions, experiences and questions.
http://www.webmasterworld.com
World Of Webrings - A group dedicated to promoting all of the webring systems. If you want to find out about webrings, this is one of the best places to start.
http://www.worldofwebrings.org
