Find Information

Using Netscape Navigator, you can find the information you're looking for, browse thousands of web sites, and copy software programs and upgrades directly to your computer.

Communicate with Anyone

Using Netscape Messenger, you can send and receive electronic mail (email) to and from anyone who has an email address, and exchange files so that you can share them with others.

You can use Messenger to create and send web pages to others and to subscribe to web sites (such as In-Box Direct) that deliver web pages directly to your email in-box.

Share Your Interests and Opinions

Using Netscape Collabra, you can join an Internet newsgroup, an online community of people who share similar interests. Participate in ongoing discussions about a particular topic, or just read what others are saying. Collabra makes it easy to view and organize your favorite newsgroups.

Create and Publish Your Own Pages

Using Netscape Composer, you can create your own web pages and publish them on the World Wide Web, so that anyone around the world can view them.

Work with Colleagues Anywhere

Using Netscape Conference, you can talk to colleagues around the world while avoiding long-distance phone charges, edit a document together, sketch on a collaborative whiteboard that all participants can see, exchange files, and browse a web site together.

Keep Up-to-Date with Web Channels

Netscape Netcaster automatically delivers up-to-date web site information directly to your desktop. You can choose from Netcaster's ready-made list of links to interesting web sites, called channels, or you can add your own channels.

Make Web Pages Come Alive

Netscape Navigator comes with a popular set of extra software modules called plug-ins that automatically extend the capabilities of Navigator to make web pages come alive with sound and animation. Software companies are developing plug-ins at a phenomenal rate, and you can get the latest ones from a variety of web sites.
