"Open Hyperlinks to Other Sites in a New Window. To make sure that visitors don't lose track of your web site, open hyperlinks to other sites in a new window. That way, they can always close the window containing the other site page and still see your site's contents." (1)
"Outbound links should be picked judiciously. It is better to link a small number of highly relevant external pages than to link all possible alternative sites on your web. As in many aspects of design, more is less: The more sites you list, the less users are able to concentrate their attention on the valuable ones." (3, pg. 70)
In this web site, every link to an outside site opens in anew window, so (hopefully!) you'll never get lost.
