In my WIP, I have a chapter where most of it involves the character checking out news articles on the Internet and also checking out other web sites to get more information related to the plot. The questions I have:

1. Is there anything wrong with mentioning a real web site if it's well known, like Google or even CNN.com?
2. Is this something that would bore some readers, especially if they're not computer-savvy?

If I have more related questions, I'll post them. :)

Nothing wrong with mentioning real Web sites. Would it bore readers? Depends entirely on how it is done. I wouldn't think you would need much detail about surfing, only that the character went to a certain Web site and found information that advances the plot.
