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!

Time Savers

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!

Find a Person

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!

Find a Business

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!

Newsgroup Finder

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?
