Have you heard of Metacrawler? It’s a great search engine that combines about six other search engines to do one big sweep of the net. I have both my browsers set as Metacrawler for their start pages (i.e. when I start either one up, it goes first to the Metacrawler site: http://www.metacrawler.com
MetaCrawler utilizes the following search engines:
AltaVista * Excite * Infoseek * Lycos * Webcrawler * Yahoo
Email: Do you think your email domain is a bit boring, or hard for your friends and clients to remember? Check out a great email forwarding service provider called: iNAME at http://www.iname.com
Another one I like is the Currency
Converter, they can also send you a daily report on the movement
of world currencies. You can find it at:
http://www.xe.net/currency
A pretty amazing thing to get yourself connected with
too, is PlanetAll, it's an organisation that
at no cost, will help you to keep in touch with old friends. Check
it out at:

Another fun way to keep in touch is with
ICQ (remember: "I seek you")
On downloading the program, you also get your unique ICQ number, which
you can then give to your friends. My ICQ number is 2225010.
The main point of it all is that if you are on the net, and your friend(s)
elswhere in the world is(are) also on the net, the system (unless they
are in 'Invisible' mode) will show you who (in your circle of registered
friends) is on.
The best place to get ICQ from (for free) is TUCOWS.
TUCOWS is
a really neat collection of software that's free, shareware or purchasable.
The Ultimate
Collection Of
Winsock Software.
It's a nice place, it has mirror sites all around the world.
Going overseas? Don't have your own computer? then try Hotmail. It's great for keeping in touch while you're away from your own PC. Also you can set Hotmail to access your usual email address's mail box - from anywhere in the world! Click on the icon for more info.....
Looking for a new job? There's a friendly organisation
called "BridgePATH" on The Net who can help
your new employer find you! Click on the Icon below:
It takes just a few minutes to register your information
with them. Good luck!
