Welcome to AOL NetFind, the easiest, most comprehensive way to find what you're looking for on the World Wide Web, and beyond!
Whether you're looking for phone numbers, e-mail addresses, newsgroups
on quilting, or Web sites for kids, AOL NetFind can help you. The tools
you need to find the things you want are always a click away in the
AOL NetFind navigation bar on the left side.
First things first: You want to find something on the Web. It doesn't
matter if it's a magazine article or the address of your alma mater's
Web page. AOL NetFind, powered by Excite, makes finding what you want on
the Web is as easy as typing in the words that describe what you're looking for, and clicking "Find."
That's all it takes to find the best sites quickly and effortlessly. But wait...there's more!
You don't need to be a detective to get what you want using AOL NetFind. Check out NetFind Tips for hints and tricks for tweaking your questions into
tip-top shape. Casey, your personal guide to AOL NetFind, will share with you her Seven Simple
Steps for Finding What You Want (for example, #2: Be Specific: use more descriptive words...),
plus in-depth explanations, example searches, and more. Check back with Casey frequently,
and get her "Finds of the Week," as well as other hot tips that will save you time, and make
navigating the Web a whole lot more fun.
Looking for recommendations for the best Web sites? We've teamed up with Excite's expert
editors, who review the most interesting and popular sites just for YOU. The reviews that
you want to see are divided into the most popular and fun-to-browse categories, including Arts,
Entertainment, Movies, Magazines, and Sports. Excite's editors rate them from 1 to 4 and add a quick
description, so you can tell at a glance what you want to see.
You've heard the Net can be useful, but you're skeptical. Well, we've got dozens of tried-and-true
Web sites and AOL areas guaranteed to make your life easier. For example, if you want to
check your stock portfolio, get movie listings, or find that errant zip code, we've got pointers
to some seriously handy online spots. You've got nothing to lose...except hassle and
headaches!
Looking for someone? Type in a name, plus a city and state, and click Find to track down the phone
number, and address of old friends, old flames, and close relations. If your pal has an e-mail
address registered, you can send 'em a note right then and there. You can even add or modify
your own listing so others can find you. Imagine the possibilities!
Need to deliver a birthday bouquet to your grandmother in Saginaw, Michigan? Even if you're in
Alaska, Find a Business can help you find a neighborhood flower
shop with just the right arrangement. Just select "florist" from the list of business
categories, plug in the city and state, and you'll get a list of florists in that area, plus a
detailed, interactive map that pinpoints their exact locations. It's got the Yellow Pages
beat by a mile!
Think of newsgroups as global bulletin boards, with people around the world talking about thousands
of different topics. How do you find what's right for you? Whether you want newsgroups on
quilting or computers (and everything in between), type in your interests into Newsgroup Finder, and get matched up with like-minded folks.
From sports to sporks, virtual reality to real estate, Newsgroup Finder puts you in touch
with the right newsgroups.
We've made newsgroups easy for you by picking the best, most fun, and most useful ones and rating
and reviewing them. Plus, in each review, we've included related links to Web sites, AOL areas,
and other newsgroups. If that weren't enough, we've also provided a Guide to start you off,
and tips on newsgroup etiquette to help prevent missteps.
It's not easy being a kid on the Internet, and finding stuff for kids isn't exactly "kid's stuff."
Get the child's-eye view with AOL NetFind Kids Only, featuring kid-safe
searching, and resources for everything from homework help, to hands-on science, to bug
sites (Yucky... gross... cool!). The Internet is a big place: we've got plenty of fun, safe,
and easy finds for little people.
