Surfin' The Net

by Lots o' People

It's a big world outside of your door, and these sites help you explore it.

Here I sit before my monitor, my eyes large and glassy from countless hours cruisin' the Information Superhighway. Some call it browsing, others surfing, but there's no denying that it's a big electronic world out there. Whether you want to learn or play, there's a plethora of sites around the world to suit your tastes, but where are they?

The most difficult aspect of surfing the Net is trying to find things. There are search engines that you may use on the Web, but they don't always find what you are looking for. Surfin' the Net is meant to give you a little taste of what can be found on the Web as well as give you directions on how to get there. This list was compiled by all of us Web-crawling guys here at Softdisk. We know we aren't the only Internet surfers, so if you have an interesting Web site that you've seen and would like to share with others, please send it in, and we will list the best here with the rest!

Search Engines

The most frustrating aspect of surfin' the internet is actually finding the information you want. With the power of search engines behind you, finding something can be as easy as knowing a single word to search on. Be warned though, searching can sometimes be a challenging walk through a muddied mire of hundreds of hits, but the dilligent usually prevail. Here are some of the best search engines we've found:

Alta-Vista DejaNews
Galaxy Hot Bot
Lycos Metasearch
Open Text Webcrawler
Yahoo
