i almost never have anything good to say about metasearch engines, but, this one has some really nice features... this may be a winner... http://ixQuick.com |

- Google -
is there anyone left who still doesn't know that Google is THE BEST search engine on the Web? forget lycos, hotbot, altavista, or any other fakes... this is the ONLY search engine that DOES NOT accept money for result placement... if there is an ad, they tell you it is an ad... EVERY OTHER general-use search engine gives you ads disguised as results... and with all the services and features they have now, you would do well to acquiant yourself with their whole site... http://google.com |

- Google Directory -
a great web-directory is sometimes more useful than a search engine... and this is a great web-directory... of course, if google has it in their directory, it will show up in your search results anyway, but, it is listed here because people often forget what a great resource it is and to go look for info there... http://directory.google.com |

|
- Google Groups -
Google's searchable archive of over 700 MILLION Usenet posts over the last TWENTY YEARS... this is one of the most remarkable sources of information in the world, let alone on the Web... you WILL find what you are looking for on thousands and thousands of topics, but, especially interesting is if you are interested in learning about the history of the Internet and the Web, (as well as all the related technology) this is 20 years of first-hand eyewitness accounts as well as the discussions between those who made it all happen... bookmark this and keep it at the top... http://groups.google.com |

- RefDesk.com -
this is probably the absolute best reference site on the Web... information on almost anything... the site's motto is "Knowledge is of two kinds; we know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it." if you know about this site, you have all the knowledge you will ever need... http://RefDesk.com |

- The Open Directory Project -
an excellent web-directory... "the largest human-edited directory on the web - 3,000,274 pages - 42,112 editors - 431,833 categories" http://dmoz.org |

Babelfish
pretty much the only/best choice for translating webpages... it even continues to translate as you click on links... this one does japanese, as well... however, the japanese translation bookmarklet is better, since it gets rid of the big babelfish frame and also saves you a couple of steps... http://babel.altavista.com |

Bandwidth Place Speed Tests
seems to be the best speed test for DC'ers... works with dk/dp AND pw... lists results in four ways... bps, kb/s (eg 56k), kB/s (the transfer rate that appears on your dk/dp when you download a file), and how long it would take you to d/l a 1M file... http://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest |
insidious_plots
|
BrowserSpy
have your browser 'scanned' and find out almost anything you could want to know about it and it's capabilities... great for comparing pw to dk/dp... http://www.gemal.dk/browserspy/spy.html |

Mail2Web.com
a very good pop email interface.. get an account, they give you a special url (http://mail2web.com/username) that requires no login... you have a pull-down for all your email accounts, and one for all your usenet groups... you just select one, enter your passwrod and it gets your mail... also, you can transload any file out of it... a very good service... it is only a pop email interface, it does not store email, there are no folders, etc... http://mail2web.com |

Web2Mail
NOT MAIL2WEB.com... this service can email you a page everyday, once a week, once a month, even with "tell me when this word appears on the page" and a couple other neat little features... HOWEVER, it will email it as an html attachment, so, you will not be able to use your dc browser to read the emails... but, this is a great service... http://web2mail.com |

here on the webpage backward comnpatibility viewer you can mask your browser useragent to anything you want... this is handy for some things, but remember that surfing around the web masked as ie6 is not going to get you access to all the great stuff you think it will... on the contrary, you will probably crash your browser alot... http://www.delorie.com/web/wpbcv.html |
