Introduction

The Internet is a collection of interconnected computer networks from around the world that provides a wealth of information on nearly any topic you can imagine. The World Wide Web, often simply called the Web, is a subsystem of the Internet. The Web has become the definitive "hot spot" for Internet users primarily because it allows for anyone to graphically and visually "advertise" themselves or a specific cause, and have this representation 24 hours a day.

Many individuals do not have the need to create their own Web page, as this type of representation is called, but they do want to have access to and be able to view the Web sites of others. Whatever your situation, you will be utterly amazed by the tremendous variety and amount of information that is available on the World Wide Web and captured in this book.


Features and Uses of the World Wide Web

The Web can link together information from anywhere in the world and make it available to anyone. A grade-school student can jump from Dun & Bradstreet's financial information to a pictorial tour of the Croatia's capital, Zagreb, to the state of the Internet in southern Africa, without ever leaving his or her desk.

There's far more to the Web than just information. You can learn static facts from any encyclopedia. The information stored in the Web is constantly updated. With the Web, you'll always have the freshest information at your fingertips.

The Web also dynamically links information into a seamless whole. You may start your information hunt next door and finally track down your quarry somewhere in Singapore. From where you sit, however, the distance between the two online data sources makes no difference. The Web enables you to move around the world as easily as to the local library—with a click of a mouse.

Although the Web has existed for a relatively short time, it is already being used in numerous areas by both public and private institutions. Businesses have discovered how beneficial advertising and performing transactions on the Web can be. Educational institutions also are making more information available on the Web, and students are discovering that they can get increasingly more research done by searching Web pages rather than library books. You can make travel plans, buy houses, read about your favorite hobby, and make new friends via the Web.


Business

Individual companies have set up advertisements on the Web. Before long, it will be almost unprofitable for any major company—especially one that deals in new technologies—to exist without its own site to show advertisements and product information. Buyers, moreover, are rapidly finding out that it is far easier to take a look at a new product by going to a business's Web page than by physically going to the store to look for a product or searching advertisements in the newspaper. In addition to finding advertisements on the Web, consumers can do their shopping on the Web as well.

Do you want to actually purchase an item that you've been viewing? Step into a shopping mall! These malls allow users to place orders for items that can then be shipped to their homes or businesses. Holiday shopping couldn't be easier! No longer will you have to stand in lines at stores or wait on hold for the attendant at the mail-order company to take your order. Instead, you can find the item you want and enter your credit information to have it shipped right away.

Users can order almost anything from the Web: chocolate, books, games, clothing, music, or anything else they might desire. This directory contains listings for numerous stores and shopping centers.


Education

Many educational resources already are available through the Web. Libraries are adding their catalogs and universities are posting information about degree programs. You can find research documents containing information about almost any subject. Before long, traveling to a library to find this information will become a nearly obsolete venture. Instead, students will be able to find information they need without leaving their desks.

The possibilities for education on the Web are amazing. Many college and university classes presently create Web pages for semester class projects. Research papers on many different topics are also available. Even elementary school students are using the Web to access information and pass along news to other students. Exchange students can communicate with their classmates-to-be long before they actually arrive at their new school. It won't be long before students will be able to take language classes that are actually taught in the country where the language is spoken.

Many elementary and secondary schools have created and are maintaining Web pages. Students and teachers work together to decide what information should be included on the site, and to prepare it for publication. By doing this, not only do they make more information available to the community, but students gain useful knowledge of new technologies and their use.


Travel

Planning a vacation? There are many sites on the Web that can help you solidify your travel plans, or give you ideas of places you might want to visit. These sites offer information about tours and hotel accommodations, as well as car rentals, airfare, and other forms of transportation. Cruise lines have Web pages that outline various types of cruise packages and describe destinations. Many cities sponsor Web pages as well, where you can learn about restaurants, sightseeing and shopping opportunities, and local points of interest.


About this Directory

This directory lists more than 10,000 selected World Wide Web sites. Each listing presents the site's title and URL, as well as a brief description of the site.

The sites have been placed in categories, such as Career & Employment, Health & Fitness, Kids Only, Music, Religion & Philosophy, and Travel, and are then presented alphabetically in subcategories. Because New Riders Publishing wanted to present as many sites as possible in this directory, maximum effort has been made to avoid site duplication from category to category, even if the site's contents qualifies it for more than one category (for example, a site about church music could conceivably fall under either the Music or Religion category). For the widest range of listings under a given subject, therefore, please check our comprehensive index that lists Web site titles under an extensive number of subject headings.


Further Reading

There are many books and articles about the World Wide Web; moreover, any relatively recent book about the Internet will contain some material on the subject of the Web. Here are some possible sources for further information:

Inside the World Wide Web, Second Edition, New Riders Publishing.

Designing Web Graphics .2, Lynda Weinman, New Riders Publishing.

Web Concept and Design, Crystal Waters, New Riders Publishing.

World Wide Web Browsers Go Head-to-Head

by Pamela Emanoil

There's no limit to how complicated things can get, on account of one thing always leading to another.

—E. B. White

The World Wide Web browser wars have begun. You can hardly pick up a magazine, listen to the radio, or turn on the boob tube without hearing about how Microsoft Internet Explorer plans to one up Netscape Navigator. Or, how James Barksdale will say “touché” in the next round against Bill Gates.

With the plethora of alpha and beta testing of various browser versions, it all starts to sound like a complicated Star Trek protocol. But don’t let your eyes glaze over—getting caught in the middle doesn’t mean you’ll get stabbed. While the developers of browsers work double-time to increase the features, users can watch the browser prices plummet. In fact, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer keeps your money in your wallet and only costs a small part of your hard drive space. Other browsers also are inexpensive and easy to install.

When it comes to browser features, they come in plenty—so many that choosing one browser can be like choosing just one dessert from the local bakery’s display case. Don’t give up yet. If you’re just starting out on the Web, use this article to weigh your Internet needs and match them to a Web browser. With all the choices, you’re bound to find at least one that grabs your attention and takes you for the best Web ride you’ve ever had.


Can I Get By Without a Web Browser?

Getting connected to the Web without a browser is like watching a movie with the sound turned off—and the color muted, the curtain pulled down, and even the popcorn machine broken. In other words, the Web just wouldn’t be the same without a browser.

A browser is your manager on the Web. The browser speaks to the servers to which you’re connecting, grabs the Web pages you want, and displays the files within the browser interface. The files are in the language of the Web, called HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), and the HTML codes tell the browser how to structure the document within the browser. Without the browser, you would be reading a bunch of HTML codes that don’t do much on their own. The Web browser brings the codes to life, and makes your Web surfing fun.

Note: 	HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the language of the Web. The HTML codes tell the browser how to structure the document within the browser.


Types of Browsers

Browsers come in several different flavors. Graphical interface browsers display the images, links, and text in full color. The most popular graphical browsers include Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and NCSA Mosaic.

Internet Services Providers such as America Online and CompuServe give their own graphical browsers to their subscribers. Many online services, however, offer their users a choice between the ISP browser and a commercial browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.

Some users want just the basics. They’re content to cruise the Web using character-based browsers, such as Lynx. Although these browsers have hypertext links, they don’t show any images. Heck, you don’t even need a mouse to use character-based browsers.


Where Can I Get Browsers?

Before you grab your checkbook and start writing away your money for the latest browser, take a look at what’s already on your computer. If you bought a computer with Windows 95, chances are that you got a copy of Internet Explorer with your system.

If you’re connecting to the Web through an Internet Service Provider, ask them about the browsers they offer. Kai Pan is the marketing director for Clarity Connect in Ithaca, N.Y. He said that they provide Netscape Navigator for free to their Internet subscribers. Most national ISPs have a browser embedded in the software that you install when you subscribe.

If you like to do your own thing, you can buy browsers at a local computer software vendor. They range in price from $40 to $100.

Don’t be afraid to try out several browsers. With the various features, you may find a Web site looks like a Degas exhibit on one browser, while the same site looks like a kindergartner’s scribbles on a different browser. Check out the Web sites for browser companies because many offer free downloads of their browsers. If you have the space, you can load browsers until your hard drive is stuffed. The following table lists available browsers and URLs from which you can obtain them.

Web Browsers:

Netscape Navigator	http://home.netscape.com

Microsoft Internet Explorer	http://www.microsoft.com

NCSA Mosaic	http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/Software/Mosaic

Lynx	http://www2.crl.com:80/~subir/lynx

Cello	http://www.law.cornell.edu/cello

SpyGlass Mosaic	http://www.spyglass.com/products/smosaic

NetCruiser	http://www.netcom.com

Air Mosaic	ftp://ftp.spry.com

SlipKnot	http://plaza.interport.net/slipknot/slipknot.html

Tip:	How to Get Freebies Without Dumpster Diving

Keep your money held tight if you are part of an educational institute or government agency. At the Netscape Web site (http://www.netscape.com), you can download and use Netscape for free. It’s easy, and Netscape only asks for the name of your school or agency.

Another trick of the free trade is to become an active member of Netscape’s beta program. In the beta program, you can try out copies of new applications while they’re in test phase. Giving a browser the ol’ test and retest is a sure fire way to figure out whether the browser suits you. Check out Netscape’s home page at http://home.netscape.com to learn more about which applications are in beta.


What You Need to Get a Browser

Browsers tuck easily inside most computers. As the Web sites add more images, sound, video and animation, though, you need a muscle machine with a faster processor and more RAM (Random Access Memory) to keep up with the Web crowd.

If you think creatively, you can still use the Web without a Godzilla machine and a rocket-fast Internet connection. The most bare-bones system can use the Web with a shell account and a character-based browser. It might not be like zipping through pages at warp speed, but it can be done. For the current versions of Web browsers, here are the basics that you need.

Minimum Hardware Requirements for Each Browser:

Netscape Navigator 3.0

•	386 CPU Processor

•	3 MB of Hard Drive Disk Space

•	8 MB of RAM

Internet Explorer 3.0 and 3.1

•	386 CPU Processor

•	3 MB of Hard Drive Disk Space

•	4 MB of RAM

NCSA Mosaic 2.1.1

•	80386SX-based machine

•	3 MB of Hard Drive Disk Space

•	4 MB of RAM


Getting a Browser Thats Made to Order

Some people take the easy way out. John Schmitt, a faculty member at Indiana University, for example, uses the America Online browser at home because it was a no sweat installation. “Somebody sent me a disk with free time on it, and all I had to do was stick it into my computer,” Schmitt said.

Quote:	“Somebody sent me a disk with free time on it, and all I had to do was stick it into my computer.”

That’s the way to get started, but if you’re planning to be a serious cyberhound, take a minute to ask yourself how you want to use the Web. With all the features and the various Web sites, everyone has different reason for getting connected. Some things you should consider include:

♦	E-mail. E-mail is like the chocolate candy rewards that keep kids from misbehaving. Some browsers, however, offer limited e-mail features or none at all. With other browsers, like Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer, you can even write your messages in HTML code and receive messages with hotlinks embedded in the text.

♦	Internet Browsing. Browsing the Web doesn’t have to be like searching the ocean for a lost diamond earring. Browsers help you sift through Web sites, customize your browser tools, search for information, and organize your favorite Web pages. With all the features floating around, it’s better to look at each before you leap into the Web ocean without a lifejacket.

♦	Intranet. If you plan to use the browser for business, you’ll need a browser that supports Intranet capabilities. An Intranet is an internal Web for companies and institutions. Company employees view the information through a Web browser, but outside users can’t access the information. Some WWW browser companies, like Microsoft and Netscape, are delivering Intranet support to your company’s front steps.


Getting Deep with Browser Features

Now that you’ve settled your personal browser needs, it’s time to look at what browsers offer. If you’ve ever had the pretzels, peanut butter, and chocolate in Ben and Jerry’s Chubby Hubby, then you know how mixing flavors can make eating a delight. Similarly, browsers mix and match features to give you an exciting Web ride. The following list describes the basic Web features that you should snatch up and make no exceptions.


Basic Features

When you take a trip, you probably pack your suitcase with basic necessities, such as socks and a toothbrush, that you can’t travel without. In the same way, you’ll need to bring the basics for a smooth WWW voyage. This section looks at the basic browser features that make your ride on the Web quick and easy.


Easy Install

After setting up your Internet connection, installing a browser will be a piece of cake. Ask your browser distributor for instructions. Most installations should be as easy as clicking a button and counting down about 30 minutes until Web launch time.


Easy to Customize to Support Web Document Types

Customizing your browser doesn’t just mean making the browser a snug fit with your Web personality. It means configuring your browser so that images, movies, sound, and files can be downloaded in a jiffy.

If you’ve ever had to convert documents from one software application to another, you know what a headache incompatible formats can cause. Helper applications in browsers are aspirin for the headache. Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer both let you use plug-in applications to help the browser deal with new file formats. Before you start jumping links on the Web, take some time to use the menu commands in the browser tool bar. That’s where you choose the helper applications for each file format.

Foreign file formats can confuse character-based browsers, such as Lynx. If you know you’ll be diving into sites with non-HTML text files such as those in PostScript or Portable Document Format (PDF) page description formats, you’ll want to get a browser with helper application support.


Easy Web Navigation

Getting through the Web can be like cutting through a brick wall with a putty knife. But if the browser is worth a dime, it should be as sharp as a sword cutting down all that stands between you and your information quest.

Geek Speak: Navigation Terms

Home Page: 	This is the first page of a Web site. It usually includes a summary or links to the information provided in the whole Web site.

Link: 	A link works as a pointer to another location or document. It is also called hypertext link.

Dead Link: 	This is a hypertext link that is outdated and leads you to an error message.

Surf: 	People move through Web documents by surfing. Sit back, relax and ride the Web waves. See? You’re surfing!

URL: 	An acronym for Uniform Resource Locator, an URL basically is a Web document address.

A decent Web navigator enables you to hop back to previously visited sites with a click of a button, such as with the Back button in Mosaic. Other browsers enable you to take running leaps through the sites you visited, rather than forcing you to walk back baby-step by baby-step. The Go menu in Netscape Navigator 3.0 shows the last 15 Web sites you visited in the current session. You can jump five or ten sites backward, and the jumps don’t make the browser cough at all.

In Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer, you can bookmark your favorite sites. (Microsoft Internet Explorer calls this feature Favorites.) Suppose that you read the New York Times CyberTimes each day. You can mark the site in the Bookmark or Favorites menu, and jump to the site quickly when you’re ready for the news. You can also set the New York Times as your Home Page that downloads automatically when you open up your browser. That way, the New York Times is on your cyberspace doorstep everyday!

Managing Your Favorite Web Sites

Libraries that have been cataloguing books for years can’t figure out a way to classify the numbers of Web sites that fly by night. But it doesn’t hurt for you to try to organize your favorite sites into hierarchies, categories, or maps. The following bookmark utilities might do the trick:

Tight Security

The Internet is a free enterprise, and when the free spirits roam together, they can add up to quite a crowd. It’s like going to a free concert for 500 people when 10,000 people show up at the door. When you connect your computer to the Internet, you become part of the system. That means that your computer is somewhat vulnerable to the few evil spirits that wander online. Most browser companies work hard to ensure secure transactions on the Web, but it doesn’t hurt to be cautious and make sure your browser protects your privacy.


Supports Other Internet and Usenet Tools

If you’re a person who likes the convenient one-stop-and-shop stores, look for a browser that adds all the Internet tools to your Web toolkit. You’ll want to send and receive messages through e-mail and Usenet newsgroups, access ftp and Gopher servers, and use Telnet applications.

Steve Sigma, a spokesperson for America Online, said that most people get online to use e-mail. “We’re up to 7 to 8 million pieces of e-mail a day,” Sigma said.

Quote:	“We’re up to 7 to 8 million pieces of e-mail a day.”

That’s just at AOL, and if you plan to be using your Web browser for work and play, make sure your browser has full e-mail support. For some time, users have been able to view their e-mail right in the Netscape browser. Microsoft Internet Explorer was just a pace behind and recently integrated e-mail with their browser.


Speedy

Most of us know what a traffic jam feels like, so you won’t feel like a fish out of water when your Web surfing becomes more like Web sinking. More than anything else, your browser’s speed depends on the speed of your Internet connection. But browsers have some tricks up their sleeves that give users turbo in the Web race.

You can configure Netscape Navigator to display images after the page has loaded. That way, you can see quickly the text on the Web page. Before the images download, you can scram from the site if the content doesn’t suit you.

Stopping the page can save you a lot of time too. Don’t let long downloads make you feel like you’re stuck in jail and have to wait for the page to fully download before escaping. Many browsers, like Netscape, let you click the Stop button or press the Esc key while the Web page is downloading. You’ll be free in a flash and on your way to a previous page, a new link, or a new search altogether.


Advanced Features

If you’ve gotten caught in the Web wave, you’re probably ready for some features that will make your TV shutter for fear that it’s been replaced. With goofy names like Java and ActiveX, the latest in multimedia, three-dimensional worlds, and animation is bound to catch your attention. In order to take the new technology by the reins, you’ll need a browser that can support the following features.


HTML 3.2 Support

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. The HTML codes help the browser decipher the content of the Web page. Unlike style sheets, like Microsoft Word and Corel WordPerfect, HTML codes tell very little about how the Web page should look in the browser. HTML describes how the document is structured, rather than its appearance. The users can control font types, sizes, and colors.

As the Web designers get more picky about the way their pages look online, they are begging for more control. That’s why what started as a simple coding language with HTML 1.0 has developed into a more complicated series of codes that Web developers use. With HTML 3.2, Web designers can do the following: insert tables; center and right-align text on the page; align text and images; and include mathematical equations in pages.

To get the biggest bang for your buck, your best bet is to use browsers such as Netscape Navigator 3.0 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0, which support HTML 3.2. If you can’t stay away from a hip new browser or an oldie but goody, you might have trouble viewing Web pages that use HTML 3.2 codes.


Web Authoring Tools

If you’ve got an inkling to be your own publisher, the Web is a free and easy place to get started. Netscape 3.0 Gold has an HTML editor smack dab in the middle of the browser.

The only glitch is that the HTML editor doesn’t offer advanced HTML features, such as forms, frames, imagemaps, or Java applets. Web developer newbies, however, should be content. Netscape has some fired-up Web page templates at their Web site (http://home.netscape.com) that beginners must check-out.

HTML Editors

If you’ve been itching to get your own Web page online, but don’t want to go cross eyed over HTML code, HTML editors can give you the tools that make the coding tricks easy. Here are some powerhouse editors that you can download on the Web.

HotDog Pro ($99.95) 	http://www.sausage.com.au

HTML Markup ($20.00) 	http://printerport.com/klephacks/markup.html

HoTMetal Pro ($159.00)	http://www.sq.com

HTML Assistant Pro ($89.95) 	http://www.brooknorth.com

HTMLed Pro ($59.95)	http://www.ist.ca

Webmaster Pro ($59.95)	http://www.ozmail.com.au/~vtech/webmaster/webmastr.html


Netscape Extensions

Netscape has a knack for pleasing Web designers. They’ve created even more HTML codes (usually called HTML tags) known as Netscape Extensions.

Unlike this page in this book, which was printed with an exact page layout specification, the Web browser interprets the HTML codes. Sometimes the HTML codes and the browser don’t communicate very well, and the page looks differently than the Web designer expected.

With Netscape extensions, however, Web designers can jump the user hurdle. They protect their Web documents and can specify relative typeface size (such as larger or smaller than another font) and color (such as red or maroon). Web developers can also use Netscape frames to divide the Web browser window into different “panes” or frames. Developers can put a table of contents on one side of the page and display the different chapters of the site on the other side of the page.

The only problem with Netscape extensions is that you can’t count on every browser to support the extensions. Microsoft Internet Explorer only grudgingly (Microsoft calls the codes “Netscapisms”) accepted the codes in their newer browser versions.


Netscape Plug-Ins

If you’ve ever tried to learn a foreign language, you know how a browser feels when it can’t make heads or tails of a document. These days, though, browsers are getting smart in their capability to handle diverse file types. Netscape introduced plug-ins, which are applications that work “inside” Netscape Navigator 3.0 to display various file types, such as Excel worksheets, Macromedia Director files, and ASAP presentations. To move the helpers to the front lines, you’ll configure your browser to go get a helper application when the browser meets a foreign file.

Netscape isn’t the only one using plug-ins. Microsoft Internet Explorer just added support for plug-ins to their most recent browser version.


VRML

Imagine spending a weekend in New Orleans without moving from your computer seat, or visiting your friend in Seattle without leaving New York. VRML (Video Reality Modeling Language) can turn the Web into a three-dimensional space for walking, skipping and hopping.

VRML can be a refreshing way to do research. Rather than jumping pages through hypertext links, VRML enables you to interact in three-dimensional space with documents, files, databases, and other users. Why go to the library in the middle of a January blizzard, if you can flip the pages of a book on your warm computer screen.


Java and JavaScript

The logos and graphics that you see spinning and jumping on the World Wide Web aren’t just excited to be downloaded to your browser. They’re the lively critters written in the Java language and inserted into Web documents.

Java is the programming language from Sun Microsystems that promises to someday run on any operating system. It’s taken the Web by storm because, like HTML, the Java applet programs can run through browsers, regardless of the computer platform. Both Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer support Java.

The Java Jive: Security with Java

Java is hot, and like the caffeinated drink, it’s full of life. In other words, it’s a live-wire program that runs when you download a Web page with Java applets or JavaScript programs in it. Sometimes life brings sickness and unhealth. With Java programs, it would be easy for someone to infect your computer by hiding a virus inside the program.

Java can also make your CPU processor grind and moan as it runs the mini-animation program over and over. If you don’t have a high-end computer, you might consider turning off Java and JavaScript support.

In Netscape, an option in the Security Preferences dialog box makes it a snap for you to turn off Java.


ActiveX Support

If you feel like you’ve been riding a time machine to the future, ActiveX will take you a few light years farther. ActiveX takes the plug out of Netscape Plug-ins. Rather than seeing static Web pages, you can view Web pages with animation, virtual reality, and video. You don’t need a utility to run the application, like you do with plug-ins, because ActiveX runs on any computer that has ActiveX-compliant Web browser. You can even view and edit Microsoft Word and Excel documents within the browser.

With Internet Explorer 3.0, Microsoft introduced its ActiveX technologies, which used to be called Object Linking and Embedding (OLE). If you’d like to be the first to see where the Web is headed, check out the ActiveX Gallery on the Microsoft home page (http://www.microsoft.com/activex/controls).

Future Trends: WebTV is Here

If you thought you had to give up your TV time in order to make room for Web cruising, WebTV might change your mind. You pay around $350 for a box, trade in your remote control for a cordless keyboard and mouse, and you’ll get the Web live through your television screen.

You might think that the WebTV will revolutionize the way we see the World Wide Web, but it really hasn’t changed much. You still connect through a telephone line, and you still need to pay for online service. What WebTV does do is let you relax and surf from the couch, rather than cramping your neck and back in a computer chair. You can even visit most of the sites listed in this book through your WebTV. If you want to find out more about what WebTV can do for you, check out WebTV Networks Inc. site at http://www.webtv.net.


Head-to-Head: How the Browsers Stack Up

Getting in deep with browser features is a little silly, since most browsers are like chameleons—changing their colors and features every couple months. But, some things never change, like the hot competition between Netscape and Microsoft. If you’re swaying in browser no-man’s land, use this information to help you choose sides.


Netscape Navigator 3.01

Netscape Navigator holds about 80 percent of the World Wide Web browser market, and the company isn’t letting go of any customer easily. Users keep biting at the Navigator bait, and they get hooked to the navigator speed, status, and cool plans.

The status bar at the bottom of the Netscape display can make a long wait seem painless. You can see the browser brain working and judge how long the page will take to download. If the status bar is creeping at a turtle’s pace, the impatient user will know to abort ship and jump on another link.

Netscape rocks all over the competition with speed. Images display quickly, but you don’t have to wait for them. You can jump links and read text before the browser even thinks about downloading images. Netscape has a great memory too. It remembers Web documents that you’ve visited, so you don’t need to reload a page when you’re jumping back and forth.

In future Navigator versions look for HTML style sheet support and a feature to automatically install plug-ins needed to see some Web pages.

Some additional Netscape 3.0 features include the following:

•	HTML 3.2 Support

•	Plug-Ins for Live Audio, QuickTime, LiveVideo, Live3D (VRML)

•	Mail and Newsgroups

•	Cool Talk (Internet Telephone)

•	Java Support

•	Netscape Extensions

•	Bookmarks


Netscape Navigator Gold 3.01

The Gold series of Netscape Navigator includes all the fancy gadgets attached to Navigator 3.0, but the package brings HTML editing to the browser window. With Gold, users can edit existing pages by browsing the Web and switching into Edit mode. Users can also edit the HTML codes and save pages to a remote Web server or the local computer hard disk.

The only problem is that Gold hogs RAM. Although Netscape claims that the browser only needs 9MB of RAM, it can barely get the momentum to download large pages without asking for more memory.


Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.01

It’s not surprising that Microsoft is trying to strangle Netscape. Trying to make an otherwise slow death quick, Microsoft sells the browser for nothing and includes a copy in every computer sold with Windows 95. Still, Netscape folks are a dedicated bunch, and Microsoft has added feature after feature to get a portion of the browser market.

Microsoft integrated a newsreader and e-mail utility into their browser. Users can write their messages in HTML and click on interactive hyperlinks within the messages they receive.

Internet Explorer users rave most about the resizable toolbar. The toolbar gives Quick Links to World Wide Web pages. You can slide the toolbar to hide the Quick Links buttons, or slide them out to let you see the buttons called Today’s Links, Services, Web Tutorial, Product Update and Microsoft. For the real cybergeek, making the toolbar small gives you more space for viewing large graphics on Web pages.

Future features for Internet Explorer 4.0 will include live “channels” of information, like real-time stock quotes. And the browser won’t just navigate the Web. In the next Windows version, you’ll be able to navigate your personal computer files, Intranet, and Internet within the Internet Explorer browser.

Other Internet Explorer Features that make the browser fly include:

•	HTML 3.2

•	Plug-in support

•	Java support

•	ActiveX Support

•	Favorites

•	Internet rating system (Use the Internet rating system to block certain sites inappropriate for children.)

•	Separate file download window (If you figure out that a site isn’t worth the wait, Internet Explorer allows you to start another download session in a separate window.)


NCSA Mosaic

NCSA Mosaic, the grandfather of all graphics browsers, started in 1993 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The browser hasn’t kept up to speed with Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer, but the browser is still worth a whirl.

Mosaic offers a keen feature that even the Netscapes and Microsofts haven’t picked up yet. Mosaic lets you type annotations on Web pages you’ve visited, and the comments appear at the bottom of a page the next time you visit the Web page.

Mosaic’s feature list also includes the following:

•	HTML 3.0 support

•	Hotlist Manager (like Bookmarks and Favorites)

•	Support for imagemaps and inline JPEG graphics

•	Newsreader

•	Optional day, date, and time information displayed in status bar

•	Preference options for customizing the browser


Lynx 2.6

If you like the simple things in life and don’t care for graphics, Lynx—the premier character-based Web browser—is for you. But before you jump into a free download of the browser, make sure you’ve got the right version; otherwise you might be boarding an airplane without a propeller.

New users should get Lynx 2.6. It’s the most recent version of Lynx maintained by Foteous Macrides at Worcester Foundation for Biological Research. The final release from University of Kansas is Lynx 2.4.2, and KU has no plans to upgrade the version.

Lynx may read text only, but it still jumps through hoops like other browsers. Here’s the low-down on the features:

•	HTML 3.2 and Netscape extensions

•	Support for tables, frames and imagemaps

•	Color

•	Integrated Usenet newsreader

•	Jumpfiles (Type in a word, and Lynx takes you to the URL that matches the search.)


Now You're Off

What are you waiting for? Now that you’ve chosen a browser, it’s just a quick install and you’re ready to blast off into Web land at cyberspeed.

Getting the Most Out of E-Mail

by Faithe Wempen

From the dawn of history, people have needed reliable methods of sending private messages from one person to another. Ancient kings would send messengers running across the moors to deliver invitations to the palace in the next kingdom. The "relatives back east" would send condolences to their intrepid pioneer kinfolk by the Pony Express. And today we drop a Christmas card in a U.S. Post Office box to be delivered by the Postal Service. The delivery method changes, but the messages stay pretty much the same.

Electronic mail (e-mail) is the next generation of delivery services. You type a message on your computer, use your modem to dial up the Internet, and press a few buttons, and your mail is whisked through a vast, interconnected network of Internet wires and connections to your addressee's computer. (Of course, in order for e-mail to work, your recipient has to have a computer connected to the Internet too. Otherwise you're back to licking the stamp at the Post Office.)

This article looks at the basic components you need in order to start using e-mail (namely, an Internet connection and an e-mail program.) We'll also run quickly through the process of using a typical e-mail program to send, receive, and manage e-mail.


Your Internet Connection

Since you're reading this book, I'm going to assume that you already have an Internet connection of some sort. But what sort do you have?

♦	An online service. Most online services offer Internet connectivity these days, and more and more people are taking advantage of the simplicity and extra help that an online service provides. Examples of these are Prodigy, America Online, CompuServe, and the Microsoft Network.

♦	A dial-up Internet Service Provider (ISP). Because these companies don't provide their own content, they can undercut the online services on price, and are a better deal for experienced users who want only to use the Internet. Examples are SpryNet, Iquest, and GNN.

♦	A direct connection through a LAN. If you access the Internet from work, your company may have a full-time Internet connection through your LAN. That means you don't need a modem, and you'll be surfing at ten times (or more) the speed of modem users. Lucky you.

Why does it matter? Because your connection type somewhat dictates the mail package you use. Online services want you to use their own proprietary mail software, while the latter two service types enable you to use any mail program you like.

Hardcore e-mail users sometimes maintain two separate Internet accounts—one on an online service, and one with an ISP. That way they have two different e-mail addresses, and can keep their business and personal mail separated. If you participate in LISTSERV discussions (groups that exchange ideas via e-mail), and you are an online services user, consider getting an ISP Internet account just for the additional e-mail address, so you can keep the LISTSERV traffic separate from your regular e-mail; otherwise your regular e-mail may become bogged down amid the hundreds of LISTSERV messages that pour into your inbox every week.


Choosing Your E-Mail Software

If you access the Internet via an ISP or LAN, you can use any e-mail package you want. Even if your system administrator or ISP has provided you with a package, you can usually choose a different one.

But what package to choose? The best way to evaluate an e-mail package is to look at two things:

♦	What features does it have?

♦	How easy are those features to use?


Features that Any Good E-Mail Program Should Have

The bar has really been raised in recent years for e-mail programs. Features that used to be luxuries are now considered minimum standards. When looking for an e-mail package, you should not accept one that does not let you do the following:

♦	Send and receive both text messages and attached binary files.

♦	Quote the text of a message when replying to it.

♦	Send mail to multiple recipients at once, and send CCs (Courtesy Copies).

♦	Compose and read messages off-line (while not connected to the Internet).

♦	Save lists of e-mail addresses for future use in an address book.

♦	Create multiple folders in which to organize incoming and outgoing mail.

♦	Sort received e-mail by any of several criteria (date received, sender name, file size, etc.)


Extra Features You May Enjoy

The major e-mail packages are continually embroiled in a "one-upmanship" contest, in which each new version brings a new feature that the competitor doesn't have yet. Some of these features are really wonderful, while others you may never need. Here are some of the fancy extra things that some e-mail packages do:

♦	Send and receive faxes (by linking to an external fax program).

♦	Attach a "signature" file containing several lines of text that you specify to the end of each e-mail you send.

♦	Send multiple attached files with a single e-mail.

♦	Send a message to various recipients via different media (for instance, e-mail the message to some people and fax it to others).

♦	Unscramble a message with ROT-13 (an easy-to-break code in which every letter is moved ahead 13 letters in the alphabet, so A becomes N, for instance).

♦	Manage e-mail from several sources in a single location (such as intra-office e-mail, Internet e-mail, and mail from on online service).

♦	Use a word processor to compose messages.


What Should I Choose?

If you use the Internet through an online service, your choice of e-mail software will be limited or non-existent. Each service provides its own e-mail program, which starts automatically when you dial up the service. There isn't much choice. Luckily, however, most of these proprietary e-mail packages are full-featured, and offer the same benefits as many of the Internet e-mail programs you might choose if you had the choice.

Note: 	A few online services do let you use alternate e-mail programs. CompuServe, for instance, can be accessed through Microsoft Exchange, the Windows 95 e-mail program, if you set it up correctly. See the Help system in Exchange to learn how to set this up.

If you use an ISP or LAN Internet connection, you will find your options more broad. If you are a Windows 95 user, you can use Microsoft Exchange (see Figure 3-2), which comes free with Windows 95. (It is also the default e-mail program for users of the Microsoft Network online service.) Its features are competitive with the best e-mail programs, plus it offers the capability of sending and receiving faxes and integrating e-mail from various sources into a single in-box. If you use The Microsoft Network, CompuServe, the Internet, and your company's e-mail system, and you want to have all your mail in one place, Microsoft Exchange is a good choice.

Note: 	If you own Microsoft Office 97, and use Outlook, be aware that Outlook supercedes Exchange, so you will do most of the mail management from Outlook that you used to do in Exchange.

Another excellent choice is Netscape Mail, which comes free with Netscape Navigator versions 2.0 and above. It offers almost all the features described earlier in the article, both the essentials and the extras. Although it doesn't allow you to manage e-mail from multiple sources, or send faxes, users with a single e-mail address will find that it meets all their needs very well. It also is available for many platforms (Mac, UNIX, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and so on.), so that you can find a version for your system no matter what kind of computer you use.

If you are using the Internet through your company's LAN, you may already have a good e-mail program in place. Lotus's CC:Mail, for example, can manage Internet e-mail too along with your company's LAN e-mail. Or you may have access to Microsoft Mail through your LAN, another full-featured program that also handles your Internet mail.

There are many other e-mail programs available—some for free or as shareware, and others in retail boxes at stores. No matter which program you pick, you should evaluate it using the criteria listed earlier in this article, to make sure it will do everything you want it to.


Setting Up Your E-Mail Program

If you are using an online service, or an e-mail program that has been pre-configured for you by your system administrator, you can skip this section. But if you've downloaded (or purchased) and installed the e-mail package you want to use, you may need to do a bit of tweaking to set it up.

The main thing that your e-mail program needs to know is the name of your mail server. Some programs will distinguish between your outgoing mail server (SMTP) and your incoming mail server (POP3). You may also need to supply your e-mail address and your mail password (which is probably the same as the regular password you use to log in).

Since Netscape Navigator's e-mail component is the most popular one that requires this kind of configuration, let's look at how to set it up:

1.	Download or purchase Netscape Navigator version 2.0 or higher.

2.	Run its installation program to install it on your computer.

3.	Start Netscape Navigator. (In Windows 95, use Start/Programs/Netscape Navigator/Netscape Navigator. In Windows 3.1, open the Netscape Navigator program group and double-click on the Netscape Navigator icon.)

4.	Select Options, Mail and News Preferences. The Preferences dialog box appears.

5.	Click the Servers tab.

6.	Enter the address of your mail server in both the Outoing Mail (SMTP) Server and Incoming Mail (POP3) Server text boxes. This is usually the domain name of your ISP preceded by "mail". For instance, my e-mail address is fwempen@iquest.net, and my mail server is mail.iquest.net.

7.	Enter your complete e-mail address in the POP3 User Name text box.

8.	(Optional) If you are going to be using Netscape's Newsgroup feature, enter your newsgroup server in the News (NNTP) Server text box. This is usually the domain name preceded by "news". For instance, mine is news.iquest.net.

9.	(Optional) Click on the other tabs in the dialog box and enter any other information desired, such as changing the font on the Appearance tab, entering your full name on the Identity tab, or choosing to have Netscape remember your e-mail password on the Organization tab.

10.	Click OK to accept your changes. Now you are ready to use Netscape Mail to send and receive messages.


Sending E-Mail

Sending e-mail is a lot like sending a regular letter through the U.S. Postal Service. You compose your message, include an address to deliver it to, and drop it in the mail. The only difference is that to send e-mail, you don't have to buy a stamp.

The exact command used to start a new message varies depending on the e-mail program you are using, but it is usually something like New Message, To: Mail, or Compose. Select that command or click that button, and a new message composition window appears.

No matter which program you are using, the procedure is the same for composing a message:

1.	Enter the recipient's e-mail address in the To: line.

2.	Enter a brief descriptive subject in the Subject: line.

3.	Enter the text of your message in the big blank message area.

4.	(Optional) If you want to attach a file, click the Attach File or Attachment button and choose which file.

5.	Click the Send, Send Now, or OK button, or find and select the Send command on a menu.

A message composition window for Netscape Mail is shown in Figure 3.5, with a message already composed and ready to send.


How Do You Know What Address to Send It To?

Just as you wouldn't drop an envelope into a mailbox without a complete address on it, you can't expect your e-mail to reach its destination if you don't know the correct address to send it to.

The best way to find out someone's e-mail address is the same as the best way to find out their regular mailing address: ask them. Remember that there are other communications media, like the telephone too! Just pick up the phone, call the potential recipient, and ask for the e-mail address. If you have the person's business card, the e-mail address may be listed there.

If phoning is not an option, there are other ways to look up e-mail addresses on the Internet, although none of them are perfect. If you know that the person is a member of the same online service as you, use that service's Search feature to search for the member name. On America Online use the Members, Member Directory command; on CompuServe, use Mail, Member Directory.

If you don't know what service the recipient uses, you can try an address lookup site on the World Wide Web.

Deciphering E-Mail Addresses

An e-mail address looks like this: name@address. The "name" portion is the person's unique user name on whatever system they are using. For instance, mine is fwempen, a combination of my first initial (Faithe) and my last name (Wempen). Then after the @ sign is the domain name, the address of the system you use. In my case it's iquest.net.

Some addresses may have many words separated by periods after the @ sign, such as carla@newriders.mcp.com. Generally, such addresses read from most specific down to most general; for instance, in that example, "carla" is in the "editorial" department at "nrp" (New Riders Publishing), which is a division of "mcp" (Macmillan Computer Publishing), which is a "com" (commercial).type of site.


Sending Attached Files

Most of the popular e-mail programs enable you to send attached files with your e-mail. In other words, if I were working on an Excel spreadsheet, I could attach it to the e-mail message and the recipient would receive not only the message but also a copy of the spreadsheet.

There is usually an Attach File button or menu command prominently displayed in the message composition window, as you can see in Figure 3.5. Just select that button or command, and a dialog box appears prompting you for the file's name and current location. Locate the file and click OK, and the file's name appears on a line in the message composition window, so you know it's attached.

Some e-mail programs enable you to attach multiple files to an e-mail; Microsoft Exchange does, for instance. However, Netscape Navigator's mail program, and most online services mail programs, do not. That means if you have more than one file to send, you either have to send separate messages for each file or you have to use a compression program like PKZip or WinZip to store all the files in a single compressed archive to send.

Online Services and File-Sending

Although most online services enable you to send files, they allow file-sending only to members of the same service. For example, CompuServe users can attach binary files to messages, but only to other CompuServe users. Similarly, America Online users can send files only to other America Online users. Internet users can send files to anybody, but recipients on online services may not be able to use the sent files; they may come across as a screenful of gibberish.

Why is this so? Because e-mail is a plain text medium. In e-mail's purest form, it isn't possible to attach a binary file to a message. File attachment is accomplished by encoding the binary file with a scheme that converts the file to a long text-only string of what looks like gibberish. The recipient's e-mail program at the other end decodes it and it turns back into a binary file. Most Internet e-mail programs recognize the MIME method of conversion. However, many online services use their own proprietary conversion scheme, and can't decode MIME-converted files coming in. If a program can't decode a MIME file, it leaves it unconverted—that is, as a long string of gibberish text. So if you see a screenful of meaningless text, what you're probably seeing is an unsuccessful attempt to send you a file.


You've Got Mail!

For computer users, one of life's little joys is to check their e-mail to see what messages they've received. Just like regular mail, it may only be ads and other junk, but there may be a surprise note from an old friend or some other goodies.

When you open your e-mail program, the first thing you will probably see is your Inbox. Different programs call it by different names; some refer to it as the New Mail screen. Regardless of what it's called, it lists the new messages you've received.

There are two basic types of e-mail programs:

♦	Multi-pane screens, where you click on a message name in the upper pane to read it in the lower pane;

♦	Single-pane screens, where you double-click a message to open it in a separate pane.

To read a message, just click or double-click on it, depending on the program type. The lower pane changes to display the message, or a separate window appears showing the message. If the message is long, there may be a scroll bar down the right side that you can use to move through the message.


File It, Print It, or Dump It

After you've read a message, then what? If you have an e-mail program other than America Online, you can just leave the message in your Inbox and take a few days (or more) to decide how to dispose of it. The message isn't going anywhere.

Note: 	With some e-mail programs, after you read a new message, it disappears from your Inbox. (America Online is like that.) To refer to the message later, you look for it in a different folder (such as "Messages You've Read"). With most e-mail programs, however, already-read messages stay until you move them to a different folder for filing. In programs like this, you can tell the unread messages because they're bold or a different color.

When you're ready to do something with the message, you can do the following:

♦	Print it—Print a hard copy on your printer. There is usually a Print icon or a File, Print command.

♦	File it—Move it to a different folder for storage. If there is a folder tree, like the one in Figure 3.6, drag the message into the folder you want. If there isn't, use the File, Save As command to save the message as a text file to a folder on your hard disk.

♦	Delete it—Remove the message from your e-mail program. There is usually a Delete button or an Edit, Delete Message command.


Writing Back: Replying to a Message

Just as a conversation doesn't consist of one person doing all the talking, an e-mail conversation isn't one-way. Most of the time, when you receive an e-mail message, you will want to respond to it.

To respond to a message, just click the Reply button as you are reading the message. In some programs the button name may be slightly different; in Figure 3.6, for example, it's Re:Mail.

When you reply to a message, a message composition screen appears that is just like the one you saw earlier in the chapter, with two exceptions:

♦	The recipient's address is already filled in.

♦	The text of the message you're replying to may be quoted.

Some e-mail programs quote the original message automatically; others require you to click a Quote button. When a message is quoted, it is copied into the new message with some identifying character at the beginning of each line, such as > or **.

Tips: 	Some e-mail programs do not offer a quoting feature (neither CompuServe nor America Online do, for example). You can get around this by selecting the text you want to quote and using Ctrl+C or Edit, Copy to copy the text, and then pasting it into the reply window with Ctrl+V or Edit, Paste.

   	Netscape Mail gives you a choice of whether you want to automatically quote from the original message or not. To turn the feature on or off, select Options, Mail and News Preferences, and click the Composition tab. Then select or deselect the Automatically Quote Original Message When Replying checkbox. If you turn the automatic quoting feature off, you can still quote when needed by clicking the Quote button.

Watch Out For…

E-mail is not a dangerous hobby, as Internet activities go, but there are a few things you should be aware of to avoid problems. The following sections outline some of the most common concerns that new users have about e-mail use.


Viruses

Contrary to myths and legends you may have heard, you cannot infect your computer with a computer virus by reading e-mail. E-mail is text-only, as I mentioned earlier in the chapter, and viruses are binary.

However, if you receive a binary file attached to an e-mail, it may contain a virus. Viruses reside in only a few types of files, however—executable programs (which usually end in .bat, .com, or .exe) and a few types of data files that can contain macros (Word for Windows and Excel files). If the file you receive is not one of those types, the chances of it containing a harmful virus are slim-to-none.

If you receive an executable file or a Word or Excel file from an unknown source, do not run it until you have checked it for viruses using a reputable virus protection program such as McAffee AntiVirus or Norton AntiVirus. It is good practice for anyone using the Internet and downloading files to own one of these virus protection programs and keep it updated regularly with the latest virus information.


Stupid Chain Letters

There is always a new twist on the chain letter circulating on the Internet. Maybe it promises you good luck if you mail the letter to 10 friends, or maybe it relays some sad story about a sick child's wish to circulate his story throughout the world. These things are almost always useless time-wasters. Don't bother your friends with this.


Ads, Commercials, and Other Junk E-Mail

Five years ago, there was virtually no advertising on the Internet. It was a strict self-policing community that drove out anyone who sent out mass mailings of advertising.

Times have changed, however, and each day I find between 5 and 50 pieces of junk mail in my e-mail Inbox. In most cases, like with regular junk mail, all you can do is sigh and delete it.

Note: 	America Online has gone a step further in helping you stamp out junk mail; they offer the capability of refusing mail from specific addresses. Use the keyword Mail Controls while logged on with your primary ID, and you can enter an unlimited number of addresses from which you don't wish to receive mail. To eventually eliminate most of the junk mail you receive, simply make a list each day of all the junk mail addresses that sent you something and enter them in the Mail Controls.


Threatening or Harassing Messages

Unfortunately, there are some crazies and nasties on the Internet, just like in real life. If one of them gets a hold of your contact information, and starts sending threatening or harassing messages, you should do the following:

♦	Don't respond. Not ever.

♦	Save and print copies of the messages, and forward them with a note of complaint to the person in charge of the server where the e-mail is originating from. In most cases you can reach someone in charge by addressing the mail to the System Operator (Sysop) at whatever the domain name is.

♦	If the messages actually threaten harm, get the police involved. Don't take chances.


Con Artists and Password Thieves

Would you trust a total stranger who came up to you on the street and asked for your password or credit card number? Of course not. So why should you trust a total stranger who e-mails you?

Follow these rules to avoid getting ripped off online:

♦	Never give your password to anyone who requests it. Never. Real representatives of your ISP or online service already have access to it, and nobody else should have it.

♦	Never send your credit card number to anyone via e-mail.

♦	Do not give out your home address or telephone number.

♦	Do not buy anything based on an unsolicited e-mail advertisement you receive.

♦	If you have doubts about a company, contact the Better Business Bureau in their city.

E-mail is usually the first Internet tool that a beginner learns to use, and it is often the most important tool available to even advanced Internet surfers. E-mail keeps you in touch one-on-one with individuals all over the world, from your brother in Los Angeles to your stock broker in New York. By mastering e-mail, you ensure that you'll stay in touch with the people and businesses that are important to you, no matter where they might be.

Finding an Old Friend on the Internet

A benevolent man should allow a few faults in himself, to keep his friends in countenance.

—Ben Franklin

All those Web sites! All the mailing lists! All the great information out there for you to read and retrieve! It's really something, isn't it? Of course, it would be kind of nice if the Web site or the e-mail happened to be written by someone you actually know. Now that would be something, wouldn't it?

Well, there sure isn't any reason on earth that a Web site shouldn't be written by someone you know. And the odds of an old friend having an e-mail account are not terribly slim. The Web, believe it or not, was built by individuals, not businesses. For the first few years of its existence a commercial site was the exception rather than the rule. Businesses and colleges have been using e-mail for many years to communicate, so there's a very good chance that someone you know has an e-mail account. And these days, more and more people have personal accounts, so it's even possible that some of your old friends have more than one e-mail address. I figure my own sister has had four or five e-mail accounts in the past three years and that makes her a relative newbie at this whole Internet thing. So, just how would you go about finding those old friends if they do indeed have a listing somewhere?

Note: 	Given the subject of this book, I'm obviously going to tell you how you might do it electronically, but the absolute best way if you know where they are is to call or write them and ask. No kidding. These machines we call computers are here to save time, not make work for us. Searching for someone electronically can be time-consuming. It isn't always, but it can be. So if you know where that friend is and how to contact him or her, do it. A call or letter from an old friend is always welcome. Make those your first contact. Then renew the friendship electronically.


Commencing Your Search with Lycos

Let's make our first stop at Lycos (http://www.lycos.com), where they contract with a purveyor of information called Pro CD.

Now how about that? Front and center on the very first Web page is People Find. If your friend's name is in a phone book somewhere in the U.S. or Canada, it's a good bet you'll find him or her here. These listings are updated quarterly (phone books just keep changing as, we all know). What are you waiting for? Point and click on that People Find icon!

Nothing very tricky about this one. Go ahead, enter the last name of your friend and then the first. If you know what city and state he or she is living in, go ahead and enter that too. For my own purposes, I shall go in search of myself. I've been meaning to find me for years and years. Might as well do it now, I suppose.

Ms. Manners Says…

There is a very good reason why I do not show you examples of the results screens here. In spite of the fact that the information that results from a search is public and you can easily find it on the search engines on the Web, it is considered very bad form to publish someone's phone or e-mail address to others. I won't publish them in this article, and you shouldn't publish them to others, whether that is through e-mail or news group postings. It is perfectly acceptable, however, for me to publish my own since that is my choice.

There are apparently four of me and we're all southerners. That's a comfort, at least. According to the list I get, I'm living in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas. Well, I do live in North Carolina, but I don't live in Ellerbe—at least as far as I know. Obviously, I have a split personality. I need help, and I'm in luck! See, right there, at the bottom of the listings? FAQ and Help!


Broadening Your Horizons (and Your Scope!)

A quick click on help and—ah ha! I may need to broaden the scope of my search somewhat. I'm thinking that may be a good thing and a bad—what if there are more of me? Can I deal with that? Might as well get this over with. Broaden.

Back (quite literally, with the Back icon on the browser) to the listings and think about this. I'm sorry, but Brigman is definitely my last name and I don't want to know about the Brightons and the Briggers and the Brighmans. I don't mind too much finding the Lynns, Lynnes, Lyndas, Leslies—they're definitely not me. Clicking that Back icon again, I can re-enter the information for the search.

Tip: 	Clicking on New Search takes you back to the Lycos home page. Save yourself a step and just back up once instead. If, however, you've run a search that gives you several results screens, use the New Search link to get you back to the Lycos home page, and then click on People Find again rather than using the Back button repeatedly.

So if I enter brigman as last name and l* (the * is a wildcard) as a first initial, I get 57 responses and what do you know? One of them is the me I know about! If I click on the address listing, I can view my location on a map, find out what businesses are in my area, learn more about my town, and even get directions to my place—well, I don't suppose I really need that. And I'm not sure you should really just drop in on that old friend of yours either. Call first. You've got the number now.


This is the Operator: Number Please…

You still don't have the phone number? Came up empty on that one? There are a number of possibilities here. If that old friend of yours has an unlisted number, you're not going to find him or her here. Is there an off chance that you don't remember exactly how the last name is spelled? Use wildcards if you're not completely sure— your friend's last name  spelled Symington or Symmington? Try Sym*.

Narrow down the location as much as you can, especially if the last name is much more common, such as Smith or Jones or White. Try variations on the theme, depending on the name. If you're sure your friend's name is John Smith, enter that information and try it one state at a time. Lycos will only give you the first 100 matches you request and there are more than 100 John Smiths in Michigan alone. If you're pretty sure your friend is back in Michigan, narrow the search by city. There are a heck of a lot of John Smith's in the U.S..

Still no luck? Let's pop back up to People Find and see if your elusive friend has an e-mail address instead. Sometimes people don't think about un-listing those.

See? There, just above the place where you've been entering the last name? Yes, one line up. The link for e-mail addresses. Click on it. The screen that appears looks a lot like the search for phone numbers screen.

Once again, I'll go in search of myself. Because brigman l* (without city and state fields) worked for me for my phone number, I'll use the same fields in this example. Click on the Go Get It icon. Yes, there are three  L. Brigmans with e-mail addresses and 2 of them are me. You'll use the same methods for broadening (by using wildcards) or tightening (by narrowing down to exact spellings of the name and entering city and state information) your searches as you did for the address search.


When Your Search is Too Fruitful

If your search turns up more than one candidate that might indeed be that old friend, how would you know which one is correct? In truth, it may be very hard to tell. For example, I know that the two listings for me are, indeed, both addresses that I have used. One of them, however, is an account that I frankly had forgotten that I had. I haven't checked mail on that particular system in oh, say, four or five years. Anyone who sent mail to me there would be highly unlikely to hear from me, even if she was an old friend I would dearly love to be in touch with again. One of those listings, under the Detail column, says United States—a pretty broad detail, that—and the other North Carolina, United States.

In fact, both of those accounts are in North Carolina; one is my business address and one was a personal account that I used for a while. You might choose to send e-mail to both addresses (or however many you find that might actually be that old friend you're looking for) with a brief note that gives some specific information about your old friend that will sufficiently identify you to him or her. By clicking on the address and sending a note that says something along the lines of "Hi, I'm looking for the Linda Brigman who went to college at Lenoir Rhyne. We were classmates and I'd love to be in touch if you are that same Linda Brigman. Thanks for your response. My apologies for the interruption if you are not she."

Note: 	When e-mailing someone you think is the person you are looking for, but are not sure, keep in mind that you don't want to give out too much information about yourself to complete strangers. Simply identify yourself as closely as you are willing and see what develops. You might actually make a new friend in the process.

If you're completely unsure about taking a chance on the addresses you find or if you don't find any addresses, you don't have to give up. There are other Web sites that can be useful.


Finding Folks with Four11

For other options, let's pop over to Four11 (http://www.four11.com) and try their people finder.

Notice that the default search is for e-mail addresses—you may or may not want to do that search first. Let's assume that you're still not quite sure where your friend is located and really would rather look for a phone number. Click on the Telephone link, Inn the left pane of the screen, under Directories. This displays the  screen.

I know, I know, this looks like the screens you saw when using Lycos. Humor me. You know the drill by now. Notice here, however, that First Name is first. I'm still in search of the real me, so this time I'm l* brigman. Click on the Search icon.

Now it would seem that Lycos' and Four11's Searches are somewhat different since the search results for me on this one turn up three more L. Brigmans, which is sort of a problem for me, since I seem to be confusing myself rather than solving the search for me. If you're trying to find someone and haven't been able to, finding more possibilities is a good thing.

You'll notice if you click on any of the names listed that you get the name, address, and phone number of that person. You also get a link to search for e-mail addresses and that's not just an idle search. It searches specifically for that person. I see that I have a telephone listing, and a search for my e-mail address turns up quite a bit of information about me.  What's more, all of it is current. So now I've got three e-mail addresses for me. It would appear that I'm connected electronically.

Have you had any luck yet? No? Are you sure you have the name right? Could the person you are looking for possibly be Glenn Fudhopper instead of Graham? No? Okay, if you're sure.

Let's try for e-mail. The person you are looking for may be unlisted by the phone company, and in that case, you're not going to find him listed here either. Unlisted is unlisted any way you look at it.

On the left, again, under Directories, click the E-Mail link. You're sure it's Graham Fudhopper you are searching for (I assume you hear me mumbling under my breath about memories, right?)?

Yep, same, same. Name, rank, serial—I mean First Name, Last Name, whoa! Domain? Excuse me? Domain? Don't panic—it's optional! But think about it, if the last time you saw old Graham, he was working for IBM, that could help you find him. He might still be there. Couldn't hurt to try ibm.com, now could it? Or maybe he was teaching at Yale—yale.edu.

<Your> Domain <Name Here>

Domain names are registered names that correspond to specific businesses, colleges, non-profit organizations, and other entities. They're registered with an organization by the name of InterNIC (a tidbit you can use in conversation to amaze the less Web savvy of your friends). They're usually pretty easy to guess.

The ibm.com is an easy one—who doesn't know IBM? The .com simply indicates that IBM is a for profit corporation. The .edu indicates an educational institution; .org is a non-profit association or business; .net is generally a network service provider such as earthlink.net; .gov (tough one, eh?) a government agency. Those are the most common types of domains.

My company, Research Triangle Institute, is more commonly referred to as RTI—thank goodness! I'd hate for my Web site to be www.researchtriangleinstitute.org! WWW.rti.org is a heck of a lot easier to type.

The domain name is the last two parts of a Web site address: ibm.com; rti.org; yale.edu. The third part of most Web sites' addresses—the www—is the designation for a specific machine on that company's network. Only the very last two parts are the actual domain name.

Okay, you go on searching for Graham. I'll continue my search for myself. I really need to get a handle on how many of me there are. If I locate enough Linda Brigmans, I'll never do housecleaning again! One of us is bound to be neat and she can do it!

I appear to be completely out of luck here. This is not good. I existed at Lycos. I seem to have disappeared here. Except for that phone listing I found earlier. That listing also listed my e-mail address but this one does not. Interesting.

If you still haven't found your friend, Four11 has a very nice service that they offer registered visitors. It's your call as to whether you want to use it, but it can be very helpful if you're looking for someone – or perhaps they're looking for you (some people may not find that latter option desirable and might just as soon stay lost).


Getting Listed with Four11

On Four11's home page, toward the top is an offer to Get A Free Listing with them. On that page and on other pages, if you do happen to be browsing, on the left side of the screen is a section captioned My Listing and under it Add Me and Login. Click on either the Free Listing at the top or the Add Me on the side.  Then enter your e-mail address and click on Register.

Yes, it looks almost exactly like the previous screen and that's why I include it here. It's a little bit confusing, but if you notice, after the list of reasons you should register, there's a line that says "This is not a search form. This will be your free listing at Four11."

If you scroll down the page, you'll see the various information you need to complete in order to get a free listing. Most of it is completely self-explanatory: your name, location, and Internet address. The Primary address  should be the e-mail address that you use most often. There also is room to enter two more e-mail addresses, if you like. If the address you entered as your Primary address is the only one you have, don't put anything in the Additional Addresses area. If you have several e-mail addresses, you can add at least two more of them here. In my case, for example, I entered my personal address (the account that I use for primarily for non-work-related correspondence) as a Primary and my business address as Additional.

Following your additional e-mail addresses is place to list Old E-Mail Addresses. Boy, I'm in luck on this one. Hopefully, anyone who happens to be searching for me will see this and know that I don't check that address that I found at Lycos—the one I haven't accessed in years.

Next there's a spot to enter your personal home page if you have one. Note that if your personal home page is at Four11, you don't need to list it here.

The next sections are a bit different and deserve some explanation. Let's begin with Group Connections.

Current Organization is a bit nebulous as an identifier. I entered my company, Research Triangle Institute, but you might be a student or a homemaker, in which case you would be more likely to enter the name of the school or the word Homemaker to indicate one of those associations.

To the right of Current Organization, and in the entries that follow, is a box that is checked and is marked with an asterisk. I was busy filling in the info and didn't take the time to find out what that meant until I got to the end of the page. What that indicates, since it is checked by default, is that it's acceptable to you for Four11 to show that information if someone does a search that includes your listing in its results. If you don't want the information listed, click on the box with the check to remove it and it won't be shown.

Past Connections—these are kind of fun. If you're searching for an old friend from high school and/or college, you won't want to change these choices. If your search involves some other area—specific interests, for example—click on the down arrow next to Past High School and you'll see areas you may enter instead of your high school that will make it easier for friends to find you.

After you register, you can customize your listing and enter specific areas of interest, such as the name of your high school or college, the hobby that you are associated with, the military unit you were a member of and so on, that will remind old friends of you in the most specific ways.

You can choose from a number of areas including, interests, research areas, and military service. Consider what you would expect that old friend of yours to search if he or she were looking for you. I suspect that my old friends would immediately think of books because I have always been a voracious reader. Or they might look for High School. The same list is featured in the next selection, so you have two areas that you can use to help others narrow their search for you.

I know, I know! The idea is for you to find Graham, bless his heart. We're getting there. Trust me.

You next are asked to enter your password twice. I'm sure you've heard it before but don't use a password that you use on another site and do use one that you will remember. And no, do not ask me how you do that. I'm darned if I know. In fact, I once sent e-mail to HotWired (http://www.hotwired.com) wherein I admitted that I did register at one time and I knew I had a password but couldn't remember it. They kindly sent me a new password and I lost it. I am not kidding—I just plain lost the mail message. I haven't had the nerve to ask them for it again; it's just too embarrassing. I somehow doubt they keep a list of people who lose their passwords but I still have this horrible feeling that someone will see my second request and put my name on their list of completely stupid users. It's a personal problem. Thanks for letting me share.

Anyway! Now you submit your form. When you do, you'll see a screen with some general information. It covers the time that may be required to find your listing and information about your password. Now, go right ahead and click on Click Here.

When you do, you get what at first looks to be the same screen you've seen before so that you can search the e-mail directory—first name, last name, domain, and so on. But if you look again, you'll notice that now you can do an Advanced E-mail Search from this screen.

Now you have a broader range of areas in which to search. You can enter information about the organization if you know which company Graham's working with. There's also an opportunity to enter past locations (that might be useful); there are those connections (schools, colleges, hobbies), and searches on Web pages and sleeper search. "Sleeper search?" you ask?

Yes, sleeper search. You can request that Four11 notify you if your friend registers a listing, which is a good deal. You don't even have to remember to check back. The good folks at Four11 will check for you and send you e-mail if your friend or associate registers.

Notice that where before you had Add Me and Login under My Listing, you now have View and Change. You can check what you have listed for yourself with View and change it with Change.

You go searching again for Graham; I'll see if I come up with a more seriously split personality. I'll refine my search for myself by specifying a past connection of College and entering Lenoir Rhyne in the key words area.

Now that's more like it! Four11 returns exactly one match and it is definitely me.


Other Search Sites and Dead-Serious Searches

I hope you get the idea now. The searches at most of the places on the Web are similar to the ones at Lycos and Four11. At WhoWhere (http://www.whowhere.com) you can also register your own information and enter your own personal profile, essentially providing you with your own Web page if you like. At 555-1212 (http://www.555-1212.com) you can search the directories at Switchboard (http://www.switchboard.com), Four11, Yahoo (http://www.yahoo.com), and InfoSpace (http://www.infospace.com). 555-1212 is not so graphics intensive as some of the other sites, which makes it a bit faster, too.

Now, If you still haven't located your friend at any of those places, you can hop over to John December's Internet—Searching People page (http://www.december.com/cmc/info/internet-searching-people.html) and find even more Web sites to search.

Should you try all those resources and still not get lucky, you might want to check out the Usenet FAQ: How to find people's E-mail addresses at http://www.math.uio.no/faq/finding-addresses.html. There you'll find some 16 pages of information, some of it pretty arcane, but all of it very helpful if you are really serious about your search. The information in the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) assumes in many cases that you know how to do specialized searches with specific commands such as finger and whois but there are also more general pointers to Web sites for narrowing down your searches to specific colleges or commercial networks (like AOL, Compuserve, and others).

You'll notice in the FAQ that there is a Usenet news group called soc.net-people. This is your resource of last resort. I don't care what some friend told you about posting your question to this group in order to find your friend, don't do it until you read the "Tips on using soc.net-people." And even then think twice. If someone were trying to find you, would you want them asking about you on such a public forum, where heaven only knows how many people are reading? Exhaust every other means before you go this route, please.

As many Web sites as there are for searching telephone directories, e-mail lists, and Usenet postings, you serious searchers could be tangled in the Web for quite some time. I'd suggest having a standing order with your local pizza delivery to ensure that you get a least one meal a day. Even more casual searchers are likely to find that hours and hours have slipped away while you were looking for that old friend. If you're like me, you'll get sidetracked often. Have fun with it and happy hunting!

Gay and Lesbian

What concerns me is not the way things are, but rather the way people think things are.

—Epictetus

Is there any such thing as "the gay community"? Perhaps a more accurate assessment would be "the gay communities," an interwoven mesh of diverse groups and individuals, united by their common belief that gay and lesbian people must be free to live, love, and work without oppression.

Some groups go about their work toward this goal this through militant activism, others through public education and advocacy. Still other groups just try to raise the morale of the troops by providing some entertainment, good old-fashioned fun. In this section you'll find a broad sampling of Web sites that represent many facets of the "gay communities," at work, at home, and at play.

Employment Opportunities on the World Wide Web

They who know how to employ opportunities will often find that they can create them; and what we can achieve depends less on the amount of time we possess than on the use we make of our time.

—John Stuart Mill

If you are hoping for an easy way to search for a job, keep looking. But if you just want a little more help and some additional services to help you find the job for you, the Internet could be the tool of choice for you. You still have to do most of the hard work, including putting together your resume and getting people to look at it. And don't think you're going to really get out of looking through want ads (well, in this case you might have a lot of help). You will find sites to help you find the profession for you and to help you with your resume. But perhaps one of the biggest helps to the serious searcher are the plethora of job databases you available on the Web. These databases work in different ways to link you with the jobs that will work best for you, or you can just look through the listings.

It is hard to look for a job if you don't know what you are looking for, but it's even harder to obtain a job without a few essential tools, most notably among them the resume. That's right—the one piece of paper that sums up your worth for a prospective employer. Don't worry if you haven't put your resume together yet or if you need to update the one you have. Not only will you find some sites on the Web to get you started (and finished), but if you really want to put your resume on the Net, you'll also find sites that will help you tailor your resume for use on the World Wide Web.

If you have absolutely no idea of where to start, you might want to read the Infoseek/Your Personal Net article called "Getting a Job Online" (http://www.infoseek.com/Facts?pg=finding_a_job.html). The article separates the different sections of searching for a Job online into numbered sections and then includes a hypertext link to over twenty sites to help you put together your resume and to post it. It even includes online help for networking and other facets of getting the online job, right down to the thank you note.


The Tools of the Trade

Before you start sharpening your pencils and writing out your employment history, you should think about what you will have to work with. If you don't know what kind of job is right for you, it might help you to know what kind of personality you have. Personality, or self-assessment, tests can help you learn more about yourself—your likes and dislikes. This can help you partially determine the job for you. You can pay to take the test, but you can find a few tests on the Web—and some of them are free! One such exam is the Keirsey Temperament Sorter (http://sunsite.unc.edu/personality/keirsey.html). Here you can take a 70 question, A and B answer test. Your results are then sorted into four different personality types and you can read a description of your type.

These tests can help you learn more about yourself, including your strengths and weaknesses. Learning more about yourself is essential to knowing what type of job will work for you. For example, if you are a very shy (or introverted) person, choosing a job that requires you to work with many people might not be the best choice for you. By the same token, if you discover you have a tendency to be fairly shy—and the test puts this on paper for you—maybe you will decide to work on losing some of your shyness.

If you think another test is what you need, E-Span offers a link to a "Match your Personality to a Career Path," (http://www.hawk.igs.net/careers/) a site put together by James Sofia, a Canadian doctor, that will help you match your personality traits to a career. If you look at the online information and have more questions, you can e-mail the doctor: Jim@hawk.igs.net. The software that will help you to do this, however, costs about $40. If you want to go the extra mile and you have the money to spend, this might be the choice for you.

If you aren't as sure about spending money on a service like this, try taking the Birkham Quiz (http://www.aboutwork.com/careerplanning/assessment.html) offered on the About Work's Career Planning section. Made up of 24 questions, the Birkham Quiz matches your personality to career fields. The quiz is actually a tease for the Birkham method, which can provide you with much more information about your career tendency. If you don't want to use the Birkham Method, you can still get plenty of useful information through this quiz, which will match you with interests and a style category. Your interests category is separated into four different sections, or colors, and from there you can find out what your color normally represents. Your style represents how you like to act and can help you see if you can actually work within a chosen field. Also broken down into four colors, your style color can be different from your interest color. The description that follows is interesting. And if you think you want to learn more about the method or you would like to go further with the method, you can connect with a form to have more information sent to you.


What is the Job for You?

If you've come this far and you're still not positive what job you want or what your dream job entails, then you need to look a little closer at the jobs available. The assessment tests you took should help you pinpoint the type of jobs suited to your personality, but they can't tell you what job will be the best one for you and they can't make the final decision. You should look at a few other factors before you write your resume. After all, how can you write a resume if you don't know what job you need to tailor it for?


Job Descriptions

Probably the easiest way to take a look at the jobs out there and to get a handle on what a job actually entails is to look at job profiles. A couple of places to find profiles include the Occupational Outlook Handbook (http://www.espan.com/docs/oohand.html) and the Exploring Occupations (http://www.umanitoba.ca/counseling/careers.html) pages. The Handbook is a great source if you want to know a lot about a specific job, but the actual reports aren't online—you have to send in for them and they cost anywhere from $1.50 to $2 each. You can buy the whole set for $24. Look on the page for more information.

The Exploring Occupation's page is a great resource for getting in touch with a job. Here you can look up career information in a variety of fields, from Business and Management to Sport an recreations. You can also look at Occupational profiles, which are professionals' personal take on their profession. The page also locates for you descriptions of carious occupations, including Anthropology and English, an even Environmental Careers. Many different occupations are listed, so this could be a great resource if you just want to look up your dream job or if you want an idea of several occupations.


Snapshot: Finding Your Strengths and Weaknesses

Now that you have come this far, you have one more thing to look at before you start on your resume. You need to think through your strengths and weaknesses so that you know the best way to present yourself on your resume and in your interview, should you be lucky enough to obtain one.

"The best advice overall is to know thyself," says Richard Miles, vice president for communications and technology at E-Span (http://www.espan.com). "Unfortunately not everybody pays attention to that advice." It's "prudent," he says, to examine your strengths and weaknesses. With the average person staying with one job three to five years, maybe seven at the most, Miles says it becomes more important to know yourself so you will remain competitive when you compete with the rest of the world for that elusive job. "Keeping in touch with your own talents and skills will obviously help you," Miles says.

One of the first things you should do is analyze your strengths. You should think generally at first. In general: are you always on time? Are you a consistently hard worker? Are you a real people person? Now it's time to think a little more specifically. Without listing every single program and job-related skill you have, highlight the programs or skills you currently use the most or have consistently used the most throughout your career.

Next you need to list your weaknesses. While it's not quite as much fun as listing your strengths, finding your weaknesses is just as important. Employers want to know that you realize you aren't perfect and they want to know that you are working on your weak points. Think honestly about your attitude, work ethic, and personality. This is the perfect place to pinpoint your shyness as something to work on. Don't just think about the weaknesses that you can turn into good things (let's face it, workaholics do their job and do it pretty well if they are doing it all the time, don't they?). Think about any episodes that former employers might mention to the company you want to work for.

For folks wanting to find their strengths and weaknesses "by the book," E-Span offers a lot of help in the way of tests and articles that will help you determine them. Just look on their Important Career Information page (http://www/espan.com/docs/). This E-Span extra includes articles on resumes and interviewing, personal support information for you, reference articles, book links, and even salary guides. This is definitely a site to check out if you want reading material.


Helping You Remember

If you can't remember all of your strengths and weaknesses, take a deep breath and start looking for any old resumes you have stored away. And if you can't find any, jump-start your memory by thinking about each job you have held. Write down if you received any awards (Like employee of the month) or if anything happened that would reflect poorly on you. If nothing stands out, try and remember the things you would do during an average workday there. This should lead you to your strengths and weaknesses.


Knowing When to Stop

Whether you are still listing strengths and weaknesses for yourself, including some on your resume or you are preparing for an interview, don't make the mistake of going too far. You don't have to track down every single bad day and know what you did wrong every week while you were employed somewhere. And you don't have to qualify yourself to be president (in most cases, anyway), so don't try and list every strength you've ever acquired. Remember that in some cases this can even reflect poorly on you.


Online Services That Will Help

The before-mentioned E-Span Career Companion and Career Briefcase sections provide a lot of useful information, but there are other services out there too. JobSource (http://www.jobsource.com/index.html), among other things, can help you put together past work experiences and pull out your strengths and weaknesses,. Career Magazine (http://www.careermag.com/) can help you as well with related articles. You will find long-standing articles as well as new information posted every day. CareerMagazine also offers an online discussion area where you can ask questions and talk with other job seekers. And the magazine provides links to other Career-Related sites on the web.  Another resource you should check out is the Online Career Center (http://www.occ.com), which includes for reference several articles that can help the online job searcher. Many of the major career-related sites will also include some information, so look in the Directory in the back of this book and check out the employment section for additional sites to look at.


The Resume

Now that you've done your first round of homework, it is time to start all over again. Get comfortable, pull out a pen or pencil and a notebook and get ready to start on your resume. Finding online resume assistance is pretty easy, but whether someone does all the work for you or you use an automatic resume site, you still have to know the information.

"One of the basic first steps is to sit down and write or rewrite your resume," says E-span Marketing manager Barbara Ruess. This helps you define what you want in a position. "It's real easy to just start looking in want ads without knowing what you're looking for," Ruess says.

"One of the basic first steps is to sit down and write or rewrite your resume. It's real easy to just start looking in want ads without knowing what you're looking for."


Knowing What Information to Include

Some components of a resume are pretty obvious, such as your name, address, and telephone number, and an e-mail address if you have one. You also should include job objectives.

Basics aside, you can start plugging in the real information. This includes work experience, including date and years as well as locations of all related experience. You also need to include your education, again with a name and address and the years you attended. You should also consider skills section so your knowledge of equipment and any special awards, along with any foreign languages you might know. You always need to have a References section, which can be typed on a separate page or at the bottom of your resume. Make sure to include your reference's name, address, telephone number and job title.


Format Possibilities

E-Span offers articles detailing the different types on resume formats you can use in its documents section (http://www.espan.com/docs/). One article, called "Resume Formats: Which One Works?" helps introduce the two basic resume formats: Chronological and Functional. The main differences between the two formats is that in a Chronological resume you go in order, including all your experience in the same order you held the positions. In a Functional Resume, you are usually trying to show that you have skills that work for a different job even while you might not have the experience.


Keywords

The name of the game changes just a little bit if you decide to post your resume online. Joyce Lain Kennedy, author of the books Electronic Job Search Revolution and Electronic Resume Revolution, and a syndicated columnist, includes several tips for the electronic resume writer in her Tips on Writing an Electronic Resume article in the E-Span documents section (http://www.espan.com/docs/jklresu.html). The first tip she addresses is that you have to think in terms of nouns, not verbs with an electronic resume. These nouns lead to, in part, your keywords, according to the Infoseek and Your Personal Net article. When you put your resume online a potential employer has to have a way to separate your resume from everyone else's. What they use are known as keywords—words that can be applications or programs (such as Lotus 1-2-3, Adobe Photoshop, and so on) you have used or other skills you have (typing speed, proficiency in languages) that pertain to the job you want.

Ruess calls keywords "buzz words for your industry," and says they are extremely important for the person wanting to post their resume online. "At the beginning you really have to target what you want to do," she says.

Several career sites on the Web have articles that deal with key words. One such article that does a good job of explaining their importance is Career Magazine (http://www.careermag.com/careermag/newsarts/resume/1046.html).

As with your strengths and weaknesses, you also don't want to go overboard when you're listing your experience or when you are including keywords in your resume. As Ruess already pointed out, you have to target your resume toward one profession or career when you're posting online.

"A lot of people have the tendency to either not provide enough information or provide too much information," says Alok Singhania, a vice president for Intellimatch (http://www.intellimatch.com/). "You have to make sure you don't type in everything. You just want to have what is relevant information." And relevant information is information that is pertinent to the job you are applying for, not every job you have ever held.

"A lot of people have the tendency to either not provide enough information or provide too much information. You have to make sure you don't type in everything. You just want to have what is relevant information."


The Structured Approach

The Intellimatch site (http://www.intellimatch.com/) offers a different approach for the job candidate and the employer: the structured approach. It's different than a keyword search in that it's more sophisticated and allows far more information to be included about a candidate. An example of a structured resume as compared to the regular keyword resume can be drawn between one word: Pagemaker. With a keyword search, the employer would just type in the one word: Pagemaker. In a structured approach, the job seeker would not only enter  Pagemaker, but would include how many years and months they worked with the program, and then they would go one step further and specify whether they used the program or created it, among other possibilities. This enables an employer to look for someone with a specific skill level for certain programs.

Intellimatch offers the structured approach through their PowerResume, which enables you to choose to type in programs and other skills you have or have used. After you chose the programs that apply to you, another form comes up for you to specify the years you used the skill or program, and then you can choose exactly how you used, or created the program, or whether you're an expert.


Other Electronic Resume Guidelines

With an online resume, you have to be more concerned with just getting the information out there. You don't have to be as concerned about how your resume looks—that's a tool for print resumes. Instead, says Ruess, you should be more concerned about the words that are in the resume—your keywords. And, she says, it is extremely important for you to include your e-mail address if you are posting your resume on the Web.

Joyce Kennedy writes, in her Tips on Writing an Electronic Resume, that you should keep it simple, in design and fonts, as well in you choice of paper. She writes that you don't necessarily have to keep to a one-page resume format either. For more details you can read the article at the address (http://www.espan.com/docs/jlkresu,.html).

A Word to the Wise

You have to decide what is more important to you: allowing people to have access to your address, phone number, and other personal information or your privacy. Remember that anyone can read the information you post on your Web page, and on some of the resume databases, anyone can read your information as well. Some resume services have a privacy option where you can keep your personal information personal. On some of them, you can elect to be connected with a potential employer only after the resume service contacts you and you grant approval.


Using Online Resume Companies

Some online companies that have resume services only offer help with the resume itself. Others include posting services, and most offer a variety of career-related services, including additional articles. E-Span, mentioned earlier, offers a wide variety of online services. Other companies, such as About Work (http://www.aboutwork.com), offer resume services as well. About Work's Resume 1 2 3 actually enables you to try the chronological and functional resumes so that you can decide which one works for you. Another site to try if you want to experiment with resume formats is IGuide (http://www.iguide.com). IGuide offers three different formats for you to try, all taken from the two basic formats which were talked about earlier. You can either print a resume after you use IGuide's Resume Maker or you put on your home page. Still other organizations have great services available as well. You need to check with the companies yourself and find the one (or ones) that is right for you.


Creating the Resume

If you did your homework and put together all the information you need for your resume, the only difficulties you should have with this next step should be with your fingers—from typing so much. Many of the resume services have their own generic resume forms. All you have to do is plug in the information.

If you want to use one of the best resources for actually putting together your resume, try the before-mentioned Intellimatch's PowerResume (http://www/intellimatch.com/). Not only can you actually plug in your own information, this powerful resume service also enables you to choose skills from career areas (for example, you can choose word processing under Computer-related). If you weren't sure which keywords to use when you began, don't worry anymore because by using this service you are, in effect, choosing the major keywords your resume will have. Intellimatch is a little different than many of the other resume services and posting sites in that it enables job seekers and employers use a structured rather than Keyword search. As mentioned before, the structured approach allows for more versatility and possibly a better match between a job seeker and an employer. Intellimatch doesn't include the only resume service on the Web, but it is one of the best. Find some other ones to help you compare and decide for yourself.

Other sites offer resume services as well, including the Online Career Center, Jobsource, and CareerMagazine. Other sites that can help you with your resume are E-Span and the Monster Board's Resume City (http://www.monster.com) and career-related articles.


Posting the Resume

The next step after you actually create your resume is to post it online. You should have already chosen the career site(s) you wanted to use when you created your resume. Usually, posting is automatic. If you use an online form for creating your resume, you "submit" your resume and it is automatically incorporated in the database. Sometimes, however, you might want to create your resume offline.

If this is the case, all you have to do is use a word processing file and create your resume and then either upload or copy it into the space provided on a page. For example, Intellimatch's Two Minute Resume is mostly comprised of the resume information that you copy into the box provided on the page. Intellimatch then saves the text and allows that text to be searched in its database.


Starting the Job Search

Okay, you've finished creating and posting your resume, or you have decided you want to look through job listings to get an idea of what is out there. Now the real fun begins—the job search itself. You can go about the big event one of a couple of ways: you can look for a job through certain lists or pages that list jobs available in a certain field, such as business. Or you can go all the way and scroll down the all-encompassing lists. How you want to do it is up to you. You can even do both if you prefer.


Where to Look for Job Listings

Many of the sites that will display your resume also include job databases. You can look through these to find possible positions. All you have to do is connect to the database through that site's home page. Intellimatch, CareerMagazine, the Online Career Center, Jobcenter, and About Work all have databases you can search. The Online Career Center includes posted jobs from thousands of major companies, including Kraft, AT&T and the CIA, among others.

Another site to check out it you want to look at high profile companies is America's Employers (http://www.americasemployers.com/), a company originating from the offline company Career Relocation Corporation of America. Employers is one of the only companies on the Web made up of professionals from the offline world of job searching and relocation services.  The company includes a section of Advertised positions for jobs listed by companies. They also have company databases so that you can search for companies by industry location or name. You can even send your resume to recruiting firms. The site has a guided tour that can get you started.

The Monster Board is another site that includes a lot of information. But one of its biggest draws is its jobs database of over 48, 000 job listings.

You should also look through newspaper listings. You can look nationally and locally by checking the Employment Classifieds by state (http://www.ypn.com/topic/880.html), which can connect you to most newspapers within any given state. You can also look in the online newspapers (http://hindin.co.nz/hcl/pridepnt/e-papers.htm) for links to newspapers in every state. America's Job bank (http://www.ajb.dni.us/) holds more than 250,000 national listings. The Best Jobs in the USA Today database (http://bestjobsusa.com) can help you locate jobs. You can also try the JobSmart NewspaperAds (http://jobsmart.org/adjobs/newspap/htm) section for links to other major newspapers across the nation.


Specializing Your Search

If you would like to concentrate your search by looking in areas specific to your future profession, there are several sites out there that cater to the specialized job searcher. This sometimes is the best route to go if you are in a highly competitive market or if your profession has significantly different hiring or employment practices than the average worker. The business world, for example, is very competitive, so posting your resume or spending hours searching through other databases that don't focus on business-related jobs won't be of much use to you.


Another Route

If you don't want to spend as much time going through job databases or if you would like to add more to your job search, you could try another route to getting the job. You might send your resume through the mail to a company's human resource department. Or you could send a copy of your e-mail electronically to a company you're interested in. If you are unsure of where to send your resume, you can look up many companies online, either through their own Web site or through a company database, like Hoover's Company Capsule (http://www.aboutwork.com/hoovers/top). Another extra of the About Work site is that Hoover's capsule includes a company's address, phone number, fax number, Web site address, and names of the folks you need to get hold of if you want to apply for a job. Other sites include Company profile information, including America's Employers and Jobsource.


Looking up Specific Companies

You can easily find many companies on the Internet by looking in the Big Yellow Book (http://s11.bigyellow.com/home_infobutton.html), which is located on many of the search engines. Another site you should look at is Infoseek's Company Profiles and Company Homepages. Located on the Infoseek home page, these resources enables you to type in a company name and location and Infoseek will look up the company and either find a profile or its Web page for you.


The Rest of the Package

The first thing you should consider if you're going to send your resume to a company electronically is a cover letter to go along with your resume. If you haven't already written a cover letter or you're not sure if yours is written correctly, you should check out some sites online to give your letter a boost. One site to look at first should be CareerCity's cover letter link (http://www.careercity.com).

At this point, the interview is probably the most stressful part of your job search left. But you can find online help to get you through the big event. One article that should help you is another of E-Span's articles, called "Different Type of Interviews Require Different Strategies." The article summarizes the three basic interview techniques (screening, employment decision, and confirmation) and provides helpful hints about making through each type of interview. For example, the article points out that during a screening interview and throughout the interviewing process, you should reflect enthusiasm, regardless of the position of the person interviewing you. "Even if you are speaking to an entry level human resources clerk, this person has the power to stop the interview process, or continue your candidacy to the next step," states the article. You might also consider asking for an overview of the position and what it entails. Another point—refrain from speaking about any salary or benefit questions.


Following up on Requests and Information Found on the Web

After you complete an interview, you should not only send a thank you note, you should keep looking until you're offered a position. If you want some help on writing a thank you letter, look at the Student Center's "How to Write a Thank You Letter (http://studentcenter.com/brief/thank/thank.html).

No matter where your job search leads, you don’t ever have to worry about finding the information you need if you look on the Web. The sites listed in this article are a great place to start; however, many more sites await you in your quest for a career.

Children should be taught not the little virtues but the great ones. Not thrift but generosity and an indifference to money; not caution but courage and a contempt for danger; not a desire for success but a desire to be and to know.

Get Connected to the Web

Some day, on the corporate balance sheet, there will be an entry which reads, "Information"; for in most cases, the information is more valuable than the hardware which processes it.

—Grace Murray Hopper

You might be revving up your engine to cruise on the so-called information superhighway, but the fast-paced drivers beware. Before you put the pedal to the metal, you’ll want to consider a few things. Otherwise, you will find yourself in the biggest traffic jam of your life.

It’s time to talk about hardware and software. I know, I know. You didn’t come looking for a geek pep talk. You’ve heard about the Internet craze, and you’re curious enough to get connected. And that’s exactly why we have to discuss this hard and soft stuff. If you hold tight through this geek speak and listen carefully, you’ll find yourself on a smooth ride to Web sites and links that will make you feel like a kid in a candy store.


Whats So Hard About Hardware?

It doesn’t take a super computer to connect to the Web, but your computer needs a few features before you can bring your Web dreams to life. Many Internet users get on the World Wide Web to do research and aren’t interested in viewing the fancy graphics at the Dr. Seuss WWW site or hearing a scene from the next Voyager episode at the Star Trek Web site. These users want fast connections and no frills. They’re content to use the character-based World Wide Web browsers, like Lynx. For the basic user, you can get by with the hardware features listed in the following table.

Hardware for the No Frills Internet User:

Other users want to take their Web surfing to the maximum. They want high speed and a lot of images. If that’s you, you’ll need a computer that meets the hardware specifications listed in the following table.

Hardware for Web Surfing:

If you’ve got the cash, go ahead and buy a computer with muscle, since computer technicians have their stop watches on an even faster computer every day. But don’t let the competition swallow you. Just because you’ve bought a 160 MHz computer doesn’t mean that you’ll be the next jet airplane flying by Web sites. Your Internet connection, more than any other feature, makes the difference between a fast flight or a nose dive.

Internet users connect either through telephone lines or through a local area network at school or work. If you plan to use a telephone line to dial-up to the Internet from home, the next section is for you. The connection process may seem as delicate as cracking an egg, but there’s a recipe for making the right choices and following the tips can help make your connection a piece of cake.


Tying Up the Lines: Telephones and Modems

To connect to the World Wide Web, you’ll need a telephone line. You might be thinking, "Duh, of course I have a telephone line." Here’s the catch. When you dial into the Internet, you have the phone line tied up for as long as you’re connected. If you have a teenage daughter waiting for a call, you might be in trouble. Nobody can call out or call in when you’re online.

One way to make your teenage daughter smile is to install a second phone line. That way, you can use one line for connecting to the Internet, and the other line for person-to-person calls.

Kai Pan is the marketing director for Clarity Connect, an Internet Services Provider in Ithaca, N.Y. He thinks that the decision to purchase a dedicated line depends on the user’s needs. “A minority of users need faster access, as well as higher connection ranges,” Pan said. “Of course, with that comes a higher price.”

If you don’t have the spare change, you can still make a connection to the Internet by sharing your single line with the modem.


Whats a Modem Got to Do with It?

If your computer doesn’t already have one, you’ll need to get a modem to connect to the Internet. The modem allows your computer to use the telephone line to call another computer. Basically, this small piece of hardware is your ticket to Internet land or bust.

When purchasing a modem at a local hardware vendor or through a mail order company, look for some basic features. First, you can choose between an external and internal modem. External modems are easy to connect to your computer and sit on your desk. They are slightly more expensive, and older computers may not support the faster external modems.

Most users opt for internal modems. They cost less and tuck inside your computer. Many new computers come with a modem intact, but if your computer didn’t, you’ll have to open your computer case and wrestle a bit with installing the hardware.

The next consideration is speed. Viewing the heavy graphics on the World Wide Web with less than 14,400 bits per second (bps), V.32bis/V.42bis-compliant modem would be like trying to drive across the country without shifting above second gear. If you want to put some turbo behind your Web browsing, a V.34 with 28,800 bps is even better—and best yet are the new V.42bis 33,6000 bps modems.

Don’t Let SLIP Slide You Out of the Internet

If you’re trying to get the most for the minimum, you can connect to the Internet with slower modems. But beware of modems without V.42 error correction and V.42bis data compression. Many users connect to the Internet through PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol). Some Internet Services Providers, though, still use the older method, called Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP). Because SLIP doesn’t include any error correction, the least bit of line noise can knock the network connection for a loop. Without a modem that smoothes the lines, connecting to the Internet would be like calling your friend and getting disconnected each time you dialed.

Data compression is another helper for SLIP. Because SLIP has high latency, meaning SLIP transfers information at a turtle’s pace, the compression can make the information a lighter load to transfer. You’ll save time because data compression will get you connected in a jiffy.

Before you shop for a modem, check with your Internet Service Provider to see what brand and type of modem the company uses. Most modem brands work well together, but a buying a speedy 33,600 bps modem won’t do you a bit of good if your service provider supports only speeds up to 14,400 bps. Think back to your teacher’s lessons in class. The teacher spoke at the highest speed at which each student could listen. That way, every student understood the teacher’s lesson and the teacher wasted no time. Modems do the same thing. If you have a 14,400 bps modem and your service provider has a 28,800 bps modem, the service provider modem will talk to your modem at 14,400 bps. That way, the modems make stable and solid connections.

Geek Speak: Get a Grip on Jargon

Baud Rate	The measure of how fast a modem can transmit and receive the electrical “pulses” that carry data across a phone line.

Bits Per Second	The measure of how fast a modem can transmit data in one second. (Abbreviated: bps)

Error Correction	Checks to make sure that data received on one end matches data sent on the other. Without error correction, phone line noise can bump you offline.

Data Compression	Data compression speeds the transmission of data by sending repetitive patterns in data as codes. The codes take less space and time to send, so the transmission runs quicker than with modems without data compression.


Future Trends: Beyond the Modem

The future is here for transmitting voice, video and data at a rocket-fast pace. Only here doesn’t necessarily mean in your neighborhood. With an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) connection, local digital telephone companies can transmit data at a rate from 64 kilobits per second (Kbps) up to 128 Kbps versus the 28Kbps and 33.6Kbps possible with regular modems. Imagine a race between a banana-seated bicycle and a Porsche. That’s the difference.

The only problem is that many cities don’t have ISDN available. Pan, at Clarity Connect, said, “ISDN is a little sporadic. It’s primarily available in metropolitan regions.”

It doesn’t hurt to ask if you can make an ISDN connection. Clarity Connect in a small central New York city has been offering ISDN connections for a year and a half. Remember, though, that your connection must talk at the same speed as your Internet Service Provider’s connection. Even if you can get ISDN, you won’t get a speedier connection unless your Internet Service Provider (ISP) also has ISDN lines.

The future hasn’t yet arrived for cable lines, but it won’t be long before the Internet becomes fast enough for TV-like video. With the passage of the telecommunications bill in February 1996, many cable television providers got the clue that the Internet is where it’s at. Right now, WebTV makes it possible for you to browse the Web through your television set, but you still connect through the phone lines. With test sites in progress, cable TV companies might change that. They are clocking Internet connection speeds at 10 Mbps speeds, and they are pushing to make their cable lines the answer to slow telephone connections.


CPU System: Do I Need Speed?

Central Processing Unit (CPU) speed is about as important to World Wide Web browsing as your tires are to the speed of your car. Sure, you couldn’t drive on a flat tire, but the type of tire has little to do with the speed of your car. Similarly, the processing speed of your CPU—whether it’s 25 MHz or 100 MHz on a PC—doesn’t make much difference in your Web cruising speed. Your system’s slowest component determines the speed of your overall system. On the Web, the slowest component is the modem or the network itself.

A lot of memory (RAM), however, can make your Web ride a little smoother. In fact, some newer versions of Web browsers require eight to 12 MB of RAM (Random Access Memory). Memory is a lot like human’s short term memory. Storing a lot of information in your short term memory keeps you from having to go back and relearn what you forgot. Similarly, a computer with a large amount of memory can hold more Web pages on its local system. If you jump from one Web site to another and then decide that you want to go back to the first site, your computer still has the first site in its memory. The browser only takes a few seconds to get the site back at your fingertips.


Seeing is Believing with Graphics Hardware

Graphics on the Web have turned many novice users into artists and art critics. With the newer versions of Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer, you can barely hit a Web link without downloading an image or Java applet. So, how much graphics hardware does it take to get connected? Luckily, not a lot. When choosing a graphics card, you should look for the following:

♦	Graphics processor

♦	Onboard memory

♦	Interface

A graphics processor, like ATI’s Mach128, picks up images and does the work to display them. This takes the burden away from the main processor, which can use its energy to process the text on the Web page.

You don’t need to snatch up a graphics card with lots of memory. A graphics card with 1 MB of video memory will work like a charm because most color images on the Web have only 256 colors and 640X480 pixel resolution.

If you have your eyes set on the future, however, you might consider buying a graphics card with 2 MB of memory and support for 24-bit color. As network capacities increase, that memory will come in handy to send and receive true-color images, three-dimensional graphics and virtual reality files.


Listen Up for Audio Hardware

It’s a cinch for Web users to meet audio requirements. Macintosh users already have all the sound equipment they need to handle Web audio files. PC users just need to swing by the local software vendor and buy Sound Blaster-compatible sound cards. From there, it’s simple. Grab a set of speakers and headphones to hook to the sound card, and you’ve got the gear to tune in to the Web at full volume.


Future Trends: 3D Graphics, Animation, Java, and ActiveX

We’ve heard people getting “hooked on Java,” but that doesn’t just mean they’re addicted to caffeine. Java, created by Sun Microsystems, is a programming language that has taken the World Wide Web by storm. If you see graphics moving like Mexican jumping beans at a Web site, it’s usually a Java applet at the helm of the mini-animation. These Java programs make the Web more interactive, but they also require some higher-end hardware. You can turn off Java in your Web browser, but if you want to see the Web in full action, consider getting a fast CPU processor. It’s hard to go wrong with a Pentium processor that is at least 100 MHz.

After Java comes ActiveX. Formerly called Object Linking and Embedding (OLE), ActiveX is a Microsoft technology to make interactive audio, video, and animation available on the Web. Rumor has it that ActiveX will make the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser interactive with a capital I. Only the daring will see how ActiveX plays the Web game. And if you dare to be on the ActiveX team, you’ll want to get a fast CPU processor speed. Even the not-so-adventurous know that, like Java, ActiveX requires more system resources.


Thinking Hard about Software

The software you need to get online isn’t as cuddly as the Winnie the Pooh bears and Tigger pajamas that helped you sleep as a child. But just like those bedtime friends that comforted you at night, the computer software you choose snuggles up to your hardware and helps your computer do its job. The following section will help you choose sound software for a smooth Internet connection.

Recipe for Getting Online


Hopping on Board with an Internet Service Provider

If you’re connecting from a business or school, your key to an Internet connection may be baby steps away. Ask your systems administrator for help with setting up your connection.

For those of you connecting from home, hold on tight. You’re a hop, skip, and a jump away from being able to peel out of this chapter and get hooked to the most addictive service of your life—the Web, that is.

Before you start springing to action, you have to find an Internet Service Provider (ISP). These providers charge you a few dollars a month and in return, they make a bridge for your computer to cross over and reach the Internet world.

ISPs come in two basic flavors: national providers and local providers. The national providers include companies such as AT&T, MCI, America Online, and CompuServe. Local ISPs range from local telephone companies to local Internet businesses.

Local Public Libraries Offer More than Dusty Old Volumes

Public libraries have gotten savvy in recent years, and many libraries offer free Internet service for their users. The Saint Joseph County Public Library in South Bend, Indiana was the first public library in the U.S. to have a World Wide Web server. Joyce Hug, an information specialist for the library, said that the library has been offering Internet access to the public since May 1994. “It’s something all libraries are trying to do, if they want to stay viable,” Hug said. “They realize it’s what people want.”

Hug also mentions that beginners love using the library connections to the Internet, especially since the South Bend library offers basic Internet classes. “The ones that come in are the ones that aren’t ready to dial up from home. The Internet isn’t a big part of their life yet,” Hug said.

But the Internet is getting bigger. Hug explains that their Internet users have increased tenfold in the past year. “We have had to institute time limits. They must sign in, and we limit them to one hour if people are waiting,” Hug said.

If you’re not sure how much you plan to use the Internet, call your local public library and see if you can give it a whirl for free. It’s likely that you’ll get a taste and want to wrap up and take home an Internet doggy bag for keeps.


Seek and You Shall Find: What to Look for in an Internet Service Provider

Choosing an Internet Service Provider isn’t like signing a lifetime contract, but you should be aware of the so-called fine print. For example, what do you want to do on the Internet?

♦	Do you want to do business online, using e-mail, transferring files and using Web resources?

♦	Do you want to get your children to jump on the Internet train and ride with the online sources into the 21st century?

♦	Or do you just want to have fun and jump links like a cyberjunkie?

Even after deciding how you want to use the Internet, matching your needs to the Internet Service Provider’s features can be like threading a needle. ISPs can be as alike as apples and bananas, but you’ll want to make a list and check off the following features about an Internet Service Provider before making your ISP decision.


Software and Documentation

Many travelers would rather drive around a new town for hours before asking for directions to their destination, and many new Internet users would rather fumble through their connection before asking their ISP for help. Remember that you’re paying for ISP help, and getting connected doesn’t have to be like untangling a knot. Ask your ISP for user manuals and software that make a great map for getting you online fast.


Technical Support

At some point your e-mail message won’t send, your World Wide Web browser will crash, or your modem won’t dial. That’s when you’ll need to call for help, and if you choose the right ISP, they’ll be waiting by the phone. Pan, at Clarity Connect in Ithaca, N.Y., said that the number one feature users ask for is technical support. “That’s by far the most critical issue because there are a lot of people who are novices to the technology,” Pan said.

In fact, some local ISPs, like Clarity Connect and Michiana FreeNet in South Bend, Indiana, will go to a users home if they have trouble with a capital T. If your ISP can’t make the trip to your home, make sure that you have a phone number and e-mail address where you can reach technical support services. Some national ISPs, such as America Online, offer extensive online technical support for their subscribers.


24-hour, 7-Day a Week Customer Service

Many users do not turn on their computers to “surf” until late in the evening when the kids fall asleep or on weekends (instead of mowing the lawn). Internet connection problems don’t always happen between nine and five. Make sure your ISP has someone on staff you can call at odd hours.


Training

Ever try to cook your first meal without a recipe? Many ISPs realize that users need a boost to get the most out of their Internet connection. Some ISPs, such as Clarity Connect, offer weekend seminars, online information, and frequently asked question (FAQs) lists to help ease the Internet navigation for a new user. You can waste a lot of time if you don’t know where and how to look for out-of-sight Web resources.


Price

Internet Services Providers charge anywhere from $5 to $30 per month for an Internet connection. Check with your ISP to see whether they offer a flat rate, or whether they have additional charges if you connect more than a certain number of hours per month. If you plan to e-mail and surf until your eyes bug out, choose an ISP with a flat rate service.


Access

If you’ve ever tried ordering tickets by phone to see your favorite band, you know that busy signals can be painful. Likewise, getting a busy signal when you dial into your ISP is enough to make any online user want to pull the plug on the Internet.

John Schmitt, an America Online (AOL) subscriber, said that when AOL went to a flat rate of $19.95 on December 2, 1996, his phone signals got buzzed. “Before the pricing fiasco, it wasn’t really a problem to get connected,” Schmitt said. Now, though, Schmitt has a hard time getting his modem to connect to AOL. “They’ve got to do something to accommodate the new traffic,” Schmitt said.

And they are. America Online spokesperson, Steve Sigmund, said that they plan to add more modems to keep their 7 million users connected. “We’ve taken a lot of steps to upgrade the system,” Sigmund said.

It’s just in time for Schmitt, but before you select an ISP, make sure that they can support your calls into the Internet.


World Wide Web Home Pages

If you’re looking to get a little fame through your own Web page, ask your ISP for help. Some ISPs offer training in HTML code (the language of the World Wide Web) and let customers put their home ages on the Web for free. Other ISPs charge users a small fee to store the personal Web pages on the ISP server.


Special Services

In order to compete in the Internet market, many ISPs offer great extras for subscribers. Currently, AOL offers 50 free hours of Internet connect time (see Figure 1). For $19.95 per month, AOL also has chat rooms and instant message capabilities. The provider compiles online information, such as stock quotes, news, and sports information. You can even find a date at Love@AOL. As a user for nearly a year, John Schmitt thinks the AOL graphics put the information in a neat package. “If I were putting beginners on, AOL would be the place I’d send them,” Schmitt said.

Trendy as they may seem, these add-ins are becoming common among ISPs because users can’t get enough of them. Local ISPs often give a free World Wide Web browser, such as Netscape Navigator, to their subscribers. Pan, at Clarity Connect, said, “Providing Netscape makes the process a lot easier for the novice.”

Check with your ISP choices to see what freebies you can get. Remember, the customer always comes first!


Finding ISPs

Since Internet Services Providers don’t just drop from the sky, some places where you are bound to find an ISP include the following:

♦	Computer Magazines You don’t have to be a geek to buy a computer magazine these days. If you do purchase a computer magazine, you’re bound to find Internet Services Providers hiding in the advertisements.

♦	Friends The first neighbor online knows the perks and quirks of ISPs like no other. Call this neighbor and get the low-down on Internet providers, and ask other friends about their favorite ISP. Take notes and tally the results before you decide on the best ISP for you.

♦	Yellow Pages It’s hard to believe, but just a few years ago, the Internet was barely a glimmer in the public’s eye. Now, Internet has a boldface listing in the local Yellow Pages. If you have an inkling for a local ISP, look in the Yellow Pages. Chances are they’re in there.

♦	Local Telephone Company National telephone companies like AT&T, MCI, and Sprint aren’t the only ones offering Internet service. Many local phone services offer connections at cheap rates. Call and find out what sort of deal you can make with them.

♦	They might find you You don’t have to look far to find some Internet Services Providers. If you have purchased a computer recently, America Online will certainly find you. They usually send one or two diskettes per month to new computer users. If you see a good offer, take it. Some diskettes give you up to 50 free hours of Internet access.

The Give and Take of Getting Connected

Subscribing to an ISP isn’t as easy as pulling the postcard from your dream magazine, checking the “Bill Me Later” box and waiting for the first issue to arrive at your doorstep. But the following sections might help you sort out the items you’ll give to and get from an ISP. Some ISPs ask for more and give less, while other ISPs ask for less and give more. If you think you are missing an ingredient, be sure to ask your ISP.


The Give: What Users Give the ISP

♦	Your Name and Address They’ve got to send the bills somewhere.

♦	Login Name or Username This is a unique name you choose that lets you login to the ISP. Some people get creative with usernames like “Ricedream,” but usually, login names are part of your name. Pat Buckman, for instance, may be pbuckman.

♦	Password A password is your personal key through the doors of an ISP. When you log into your ISP, you enter a login name and password. If either your password or login name does not match the ISP’s list of users, you won’t be able to connect to your ISP. To be on the safe side, keep your password a secret from other users.

♦	Credit Card Number If you choose to be billed by credit card, you’ll enter the number online. Some ISPs offer an alternative for people who don’t have a credit card, or who don’t want to give the number online. Ask your ISP for other payment options.

♦	Local Access Number Most ISPs let you choose a dial-up number to use for your modem to dial into the ISP. The number is usually different from the ISP customer service number.

Don’t be Duped—Choose a Local Number

Some Internet Services Providers give you a long list of phone numbers to choose as your dial-up number. Think smart when making a choice because some numbers on the list may be long distance phone numbers. That means that every time you dial into your ISP, you’re charged long distance charges by your phone company in addition to the ISP charges you accumulate each month.

Don’t sweat it too much, though. Just look for the one or two local numbers on the list, and choose one of those. If there’s only one local number and your ISP asks for a second choice, choose the first number again (as your second choice).


The Take: What you Take from the ISP

♦	Internet e-mail address You use e-mail addresses to send and receive e-mail once you’re connected to the Internet. Usually, the e-mail address is your username and domain name of the ISP. It has three parts: the username; the at symbol (@); and the domain name. Pat Buckman’s e-mail would be pbuckman@isp.com. The trick to using and sharing your e-mail address is to use it exactly as you get it. If you make any changes to the address, you might get back a message marked Return to Sender.

♦	Domain name A domain name is the name assigned to your ISP, such as compuserve.com or iquest.net.

♦	Host name This is your computer’s name on the Internet. Although you might want to assign this yourself, your ISP must do this because it is only effective when you’re connected to the ISP. Usually, the host name is simply your username.

♦	IP address Your IP (Internet Protocol) address is like a street address, but with numbers only. IP addresses are four-part numbers separated by periods, and they must be entered exactly as your ISP gives it to you (170.203.93.5). Sometimes, you will not be given an IP address to enter on your computer because your ISP will assign an IP address to you each time you log into the Internet. These type of IP addresses are called dynamic IP addresses. Ask your ISP if you need an IP address to get connected with the provider.

♦	DNS Server Like the IP address, the DNS server is a four-part number separated by periods that is assigned to your ISP.

♦	News and e-mail server names These are the names of the ISP’s usenet news and e-mail servers. E-mail server names may be pop.uunet.com. News server names may be nntp.uunet.com. Like e-mail addresses, these need to be typed exactly as the ISP gives them to you. Otherwise, you won’t be able to read your e-mail or subscribe to usenet newsgroups.


TCP/IP: May the Force be with You

TCP/IP isn’t exactly a new Star Wars character, but TCP/IP does save the Internet world from a lot of chaos. This computer language enables computers to talk with one another (called network protocol). If you didn’t have TCP/IP, it would be like trying to drive a car on a road with no rules—no stop signs, no speed limits, no proper side on which to drive. Sound dangerous? It can be if your computer doesn’t understand another computer. That’s why you have to get this TCP/IP configured—and soon.


Getting TCP/IP

After you subscribe to an ISP and have all the software, hardware, and information, you need to configure your system to be able to access the Internet. Configuring the TCP/IP isn’t always a snap, but your ISP might send you software that can do the job in a flash.

If not, gather together your Windows 95 Setup disks or CD-ROM and manual. You’ll have to gallop through the Internet Setup Wizard steps that get you ready to giddyup and go onto the Internet.

If you use another system, such as Windows 3.x, you will have to purchase TCP/IP software from a vendor. On a Macintosh, you can use the built-in Mac TCP software and configure the TCP/IP stack in the Control Panels of the System folder.


Dialing-Up

After you have the protocol secure, you’ll have to make sure that your dialer works with your modem. In some cases, Windows 95 automatically creates a dial-up networking icon during the Internet Setup Wizard steps. If not, continue with the steps in your manual that set your dialer spinning onto the Internet.

If you’re using Windows 3.x, the TCP/IP package the you purchased—such as Trumpet Winsock—should include dialer software. Use the software instructions to configure the dialer, or ask your ISP for help.


Youve Got It Together, Now What?

Now that you’re all connected with no spare parts, you’ll want to get in gear for Web navigating. The next article, “World Wide Web Browsers Go Head-to-Head,” takes a look at the tools that bring life to the World Wide Web.


Literature

Great literature is simply language charged with meaning to the utmost possible degree.

—Ezra Pound

What the Heck is a Search Engine?

by Faithe Wempen

One of most beginners' complaints about the Internet is that it's just too vast. There are millions of pages all over the world, and you aren't going to stumble on the information you need by just clicking on links. It's a shame there isn't one big index, like in the back of a book, where you can just look things up.

Well, there isn't one master index, but there are several very good partial indexes, and in many cases you will find more information than you need by using only one of them. In this article, we'll look at the most popular search sites on the Internet and how to use them.


What's Available?

There are hundreds of search sites on the Internet, but the "big players," the ones that get the lion's share of the business, are the following:

♦	Lycos—http://www.lycos.com

♦	Yahoo!—http://www.yahoo.com

♦	AltaVista—http://www.altavista.digital.com

♦	Infoseek—http://www.infoseek.com

♦	Excite—http://www.excite.com

♦	Magellan—http://www.mckinley.com

♦	The NRP Yellow Pages—http://www.mcp.com/nrp/wwwyp

These top six represent two kinds of search sites: search engines and Web directories.  With a search engine, you type in what you want to search for, and the system consults an index of the Web and pulls up addresses for all pages that match your search. In contrast, a Web directory lists categories from which you can select. You choose a category, then a narrower one, and so on, until you have narrowed down what you want to a list of a few sites. Both methods are useful, and some sites combine the two technologies, as you will shortly see.

Note: 	If you don't find what you want at any of these sites, visit Netscape's Net Search page for links to other search sites, including specialized ones for businesses, individuals, files, and so on. If you use Netscape Navigator as your browser, you can move quickly to this page by clicking the Net Search button on your screen.

Each search site is a little different. The basic procedure for using each one is the same, but when you get into the more complicated stuff, like entering complex search criteria, each site has its own rules. (We'll get into that in the sections that follow for the individual sites.) If you don't have this book handy when you're using a site, refer to the online instructions or Help document for each search engine.

How DO Those Search Engines Get the Site Listings?

There are many ways that a search engine site comes up with their listings, but one of the coolest is through the use of bots. You can think of bots as Internet robot surfers that travel the Internet, constantly checking out sites and recording information for their masters. (Remember Voyager in the Star Trek episode and the second Star Trek movie? Kind of like that.) They make a note of the page's address and keywords, and send it back home for inclusion in the index. This is great because no human could ever keep up with all the millions of pages and their ever-changing addresses.

The reason a page's address or description in the index may not be up-to-date might be that the bot has not been back to visit that page again since its address or content changed.

Note: 	bots—Internet robot surfers that travel the Internet, constantly checking out sites and recording information for their masters.

Lycos

As we enter the world of cyberspace searching, we'll start with my personal favorite search engine, Lycos.

Lycos offers two levels of searching: basic and custom. You start out at the basic level, where you can type one or more words to search for. For example, suppose that I was looking for Shetland Sheepdog information. I would type Shetland Sheepdog in the text box, and then click the Go Get It button. The results appear on a new page.

Notice that Lycos found 2074 pages that matched Shetland, Sheepdog, or a variation of one of those words. Because Lycos arranges the found pages by the quality of the match, the pages that contain both Shetland and Sheepdog appear first—which is good because then I don't have to wade through pages on Shetland ponies and English Sheepdogs.

Note: 	To return to the controls and enter different criteria, just click the Back button on your browser.

For many people, the basic Lycos search is all they will ever need. However, experienced users may prefer to use the Custom Search instead. To move to that screen, click the Custom Search button on the basic search page (or jump to it from anywhere on the Web). You have a lot of extra options for refining your search here.

Following are the available Custom Search choices:

♦	Search—You can choose The Web, Pictures, Sounds, or By Subject. You also have this choice on the basic search page. I usually leave this set to The Web since I am almost always looking for Web pages.

♦	For—This is the same text box as on the basic search page, where you enter the word(s) to search for.

♦	Search options—There are two:

♦	Number of terms to match The default is Match any term (OR), which is the same as the basic search does, but you can choose a specific number of terms or Match all terms (AND).

♦	Match quality The default is Loose match, which is the same as for the basic search. This allows the most leeway in searching. You can be stricter about how relevant a page has to be to your keyword by choosing one of the other match types (Fair, Good, Close, or Strong).

♦	Display options—again, there are two:

♦	Results per page The default is 10 (same as for basic searches), but you can choose 20, 30, or 40. The more results per page you specify, the longer the page takes to appear.

♦	Results The default is Standard, which provides a few lines about each site, but you can choose Summary (shorter descriptions) or Detailed (longer descriptions).

Is that all? Well, almost. There are some symbols you can enter with your search terms to narrow down the results to exactly what you want:

♦	Place a minus sign before a word to exclude it. For example, to search for banks (financial institutions), I would want to exclude other meanings of "bank," so I might enter banks –river.

♦	Put a period after a word for an exact match. For example, to search for bank but not banker or banking, I might enter bank. in the text box.

♦	Use a dollar sign to indicate a fragment. For example, gard$ would find pages containing gardener, gardenia, gardens, and so on.


Yahoo!

While Lycos is purely a search engine, Yahoo! (http://www.yahoo.com) is the opposite: it's purely a Web directory. (The other sites we'll look at later in this article are combinations of the two.)

The main feature of Yahoo! is the categories list. You click on a category, and then on a subcategory, and so on, until you arrive at the topic you're interested in. You may find some other topics along the way too that you hadn't even thought of!

For those who don't have time to wade through categories, Yahoo! provides a text box where you can enter the keywords you're searching for, but it searches only its own small directory of sites. Yahoo! doesn't even attempt to maintain a master index of the whole Web. But on the plus side, the sites that Yahoo! does list are generally the "good" ones. Yahoo! is helpful when you're looking for quality rather than quantity in a search.

Whether you choose to use the categories or the keywords depends on why you are looking up a particular topic. For example, suppose that I'm interested in any magazines for small businesses owners. Because I'm looking for a broad area of knowledge, and don't know the names of the magazines, Yahoo!'s categories would be best. I would take the following path through them:

Business and Economy --> Small Business Information --> Magazines

Such a search brought me the names of 16 magazines..

But suppose that I want all the information I can find about Shetland Sheepdogs from Yahoo!. I know that it will probably be scattered in several categories, because Shetland Sheepdog breeding is a business for some and a hobby for others, and pet ownership is a separate hobby too, and animal care is separate from any of those. This would be a good time to use Yahoo!'s keyword search. So I enter Shetland Sheepdog in the text box to get the results.

Notice that Yahoo! found sites in three categories: two for breeders and one for the breed itself. It found a total of only 15 matches, so obviously we aren't getting the same quantity of hits that we do with a real search engine. Yahoo!, however, has a built-in link with one of the better search engine sites: AltaVista. At the bottom of your Yahoo! search results, you'll find an AltaVista link. Clicking on it will take you to the AltaVista search results for the same keywords that you entered in Yahoo!.


AltaVista

AltaVista (http://www.altavista.digital.com) is a lot like Lycos in its functionality; it's a full-service search engine. Like Lycos, it comes in two varieties: basic and advanced.

With the Basic form, you search the Web or Usenet (choose one from the drop-down list). Usenet is the system that handles most newsgroups on the Internet, so you would choose that only if you were looking for newsgroup data. Most folks, however, will want to stick with the Web.

You search by keyword, entering one or more keywords in the text box. The basic search is an OR search—that is, it finds pages that use at least one of your keywords but not necessarily all of them. As with Lycos, however, AltaVista lists pages that match all the keywords first. For results, you specify Standard, Compact, or Detailed.

Where AltaVista really shines is its Advanced search engine, where experienced users can enter complex criteria to pinpoint exactly what they want to search for. To go to it, click the Advanced button at the top of the basic search form, or go to http://www.altavista.digital.com/cgi-bin/query?pg-aq.

To teach you how to use the Advanced search screen, there is an eight-page Help document available at the AltaVista site; just click the Help button at the top of the page to access it. Here's a quick summary of the options:

♦	Use standard AND and OR operators, as in the following examples:

♦	tree AND forest finds pages with both words

♦	tree OR forest finds pages with either word

♦	Use quotation marks around multi-word phrases, as in the following:

♦	"San Juan" finds pages with the phrase "San Juan" but not pages containing both the words "San" and "Juan" separately.

♦	"Shetland Sheepdog" finds pages with the phrase "Shetland Sheepdog" but not pages containing "Shetland" and "Sheepdog" separately.

♦	The NEAR operator makes sure words are within ten words of each other on the page, as in the following:

♦	tree NEAR forest finds pages on which those two words are within ten words of each other.

♦	Use NOT to exclude words or phrases, as in the following example:

♦	tree NOT forest finds pages that contain the word "tree" but not the word "forest"

In addition to search criteria, you can also specify ranking so that certain search terms have more weight than others. To do this, repeat one of the search terms in the Ranking field box, as in the following example:

♦	To find pages containing either tree or forest, with pages that contain tree at top of the list, put tree OR forest in the Search field and tree in the Ranking field.

♦	To find pages containing Shetland Sheepdog and Breeders, with an emphasis on the breeder pages, put "Shetland Sheepdog" AND Breeders in the Search field and Breeders in the Ranking field.

Finally, you can enter a range of dates in the Start Date and Finish Date fields, and pages found will be within that range. This might be helpful, for example, to find only pages that have been updated in the last 30 days—set the Start Date to 30 days ago and the Finish Date to today.

There is even more you can do with AltaVista's search criteria, but the preceding should get you started. For complete instructions, click the Help button on any AltaVista page.


Infoseek

Infoseek (http://www.infoseek.com) combines a powerful search engine (such as Lycos and AltaVista) with a large Web directory (such as Yahoo!). On its basic search screen, you can enter search keywords or select from any of dozens of categories.

Given two equally good tools at this site, which should you use? As with Yahoo!, it depends on what kind of information you are looking for. If you want to find all instances of specific words, and the context doesn't matter, use the search engine. To find all information about a specific bookstore, for example, search for the name as a keyword. To find a list of bookstores in your area, however, use the categories:

Arts --> Books --> Bookstores -->

The standard search engine on Infoseek is called UltraSmart. It's the simple search form. There is also UltraSeek, a more powerful form you can access by clicking the UltraSeek button on the page.

As with the other search engines, there is syntax you can use to narrow down your searches on Infoseek. Click the Tips link on the Infoseek page to learn all about it through the Help system. Following are the highlights:

♦	Use commas to separate phrases. For example, if you are searching for Shetland Sheepdogs or Rottweilers, use Shetland Sheepdog, Rottweiler.

♦	Use quotation marks or hyphens to show words that must be adjacent. For example, to search for New Riders Publishing as a phrase, use "New Riders Publishing" or New-Riders-Publishing.

♦	Put a minus sign in front of a word that must not appear. For example, to search for Hudson but not the Hudson River, use Hudson –River. Make sure you leave a space before the minus sign, or the search engine may think you want the phrase "Hudson River", as in the preceding example!

♦	Put a plus sign in front of a word that must appear. For example, to find information about Dalmatians' care or breeding, use +Dalmatians, care, breeding.

You can also perform advanced field searching with Infoseek, such as finding text only in links or only in URLs. For complete information about this, see http://www.infoseek.com/Help?pg-fields.html.

More is Better!

In this article, you're learning how to use several of the major search sites, not just one or two. Why would you want to use more than one search engine? Well, as I explained in the sidebar earlier about bots, each search site has its own bots that roam the Internet and collect the addresses of sites. Different bots go different places, so each search site will give a different list of hits for particular keywords. There will likely be a lot of overlap, but not 100 percent overlap, since one site's bots have been to different places than another site's.


Excite

Excite (http://www.excite.com) is another dual-purpose search site. It has both a search engine and a Web directory, like the other sites you've been reading about here, but with some nice additional features.

The Web directory at Excite is not as large as the ones at Infoseek or Yahoo!, but it does have one important extra: the sites listed in the Excite Web directory have been reviewed and rated by Excite personnel. When you use the Excite directory to learn about a site, you get more information than just a brief description—you actually get a reviewer's opinion of the site's overall quality and usefulness.

The search engine component at Excite is special too. Each site found in response to a keyword search has a link called [More Like This]. This allows you to show the search engine examples of the kind of sites you want to find, and narrow down your search more precisely in that way. For example, the second entry contains information about the breed standard for Shetland Sheepdogs. Suppose that's the type of information I'm looking for, as opposed to ads for specific breeders. If I click on the [More Like This] link next to that entry, the results page changes to show links similar to the chosen one.

Tip: 	The Excite search engine also enables you to search the Excite Web directory itself. Just open the drop-down list on the Excite search page (it's set to World Wide Web by default) and change the setting to Excite Web Site Reviews.

Here's a summary of the search operators Excite uses:

♦	Use AND and OR as with other sites; AND forces both terms to appear (apples AND oranges), while OR finds pages where either term appears (apples OR oranges).

♦	To find pages where a word does not appear, use AND NOT. For instance, to find pages with tree but not bush, use tree AND NOT bush. You can also use a minus sign if you prefer, as in tree –bush.

♦	Use parentheses to group options in multiple-operator queries. For instance, to find pages that contain apple and either orange or grape, use apple AND (orange OR grape).


Magellan

Magellan (http://www.mckinley.com), by the same folks who bring you Excite, is yet another combination site, with both a Web directory and a search engine. You can use Magellan's search text box to search for the following:

♦	Entire database Returns hits from all over the Web, like a normal search engine.

♦	Rated and reviewed sites only Returns hits only from Magellan's Web directory.

Magellan's special claim to fame is the fact that you can screen out adult-oriented sites with the Green Light feature. The main Magellan search page (http://www.mckinley.com/) contains a Green Light Sites Only check box. If you mark that, the search returns only sites that Magellan has reviewed and determined to be family-friendly.

This feature makes Magellan extremely helpful if you are searching for serious research information about a smut-prone topic like teen sex. With a regular search engine you would have to wade through hundreds of LIVE NUDE HOT TEENS pages, but with Magellan's Green Light feature you can eliminate such pages from your search, and find what you're really looking for—articles about how to talk to your teenagers about sex.


The NRP World Wide Web Yellow Pages

Yes, it's an online version of this book! Actually this site is a "two-fer" like some of the others—you can look up sites from the book in categories (like Yahoo!), or you can search a real Web index (like Lycos and some of the others). You'll find it at http://www.mcp.com/nrp/wwwyp.

The WWW Yellow Pages site works just like the other sites you've seen so far in this article—just type in what you want to search for and click Search, or wade through the categories listed under the search text box.


Macmillan Publishing's SuperSeek

With all the different search engines and sites you've learned about in this article so far, don't you wish there was a single page where you could use all the search sites at once? Well, there is, and it's brought to you by none other than Macmillan Publishing, the parent company of New Riders Publishing (who brings you this book). It's called SuperSeek (http://www.mcp.com/superseek).

Just enter the search string you want to find in the text box provided, and choose where you want to search:

♦	Information Superlibrary FAQ and Bookstore This confines the search to the Macmillan Publishing site. Use this to find out if Macmillan Publishing offers any books on the subject.

♦	NRP WWW Yellow Pages, Yahoo, Infoseek and more Select this to search a variety of search engines.

♦	USENET News Choose this to search newsgroups.

Click Search, and the search is on! If your browser supports frames, you'll see a multi-frame display, with a different search engine's results in each pane.

You aren't limited to the four search engines in these panes; notice the list of search engines below the four panes. Just click on one of those names to jump directly to that search engine's results for the search words you have already entered.


Other Search Sites

Between the seven sites reviewed so far in this article, you should be able to find plenty of hits on whatever topic you are looking for. But just in case you need something more specific, check out these additional search sites:

♦	The Electric Library (http://www.olibrary.com). Here you can search books, magazines, newspapers, TV and radio transcripts, and other media.

♦	Four11 (http://www.four11.com) Search for an individual person's e-mail address, street address, and/or telephone number.

♦	GTE SuperPages (http://www.superpages.gte.net/) Use the online GTE Yellow Pages, use their Web site search engine, or browse their classified ads.

♦	SHAREWARE.COM (http://www.shareware.com) At this site, you can search for shareware files to download.

♦	DisInformation (http://disinfo.com/) A search engine, but the real gems here are the odd and twisted sites recommended in their Web directory.

♦	WhoWhere? (http://www.whowhere.com/) Another site where you can search for a person's e-mail address.

♦	Bigfoot (http://www.bigfoo.com/) Another individual address search site. This one boasts 100 million White Pages listings and 8 million e-mail addresses.


Good Luck!

Now that you've had a look at what search engines and Web directories can do for you, dive right in! Try out each of the sites I've told you about, and see which ones work best for you. But be careful—it's easy to get interested in some side topic you discover and find that you've spent your entire afternoon looking at pages that had nothing to do with your original topic. Have fun!

WebTV Dazzles the Eyes of Couch Potatoes

I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set I go into the other room and read a book.

—Groucho Marx

The World Wide Web has hit home. People are giving up their midnight rendezvous with the leftovers in their refrigerators for a cruise to the Microsoft/NBC Web site. They’re forsaking their beds to cradle their keyboards and send off e-mail messages until the wee hours of the morning. Beds and refrigerators all over town are getting lonely, but the TV set is the hardest hit household appliance—hands down.

Internet hobbyists and addicts found a new elixir for their cravings, and the Web has them hooked. Even former TV-heads aren’t suffering withdrawal symptoms from missing Seinfeld episodes and The Late Show with David Letterman. Should we declare the race a landslide and haul our television sets out to the dumpsters?

Not so fast. WebTV, from WebTV Networks Inc., has pumped some muscles in the good ol’ standard television. With less than $400 and a telephone line, you can buy a tiny black box that enables you to view the Web on your television screen from the comfort of your couch. You can read the New York Times CyberTimes sitting in your LazyBoy chair or even send e-mail lying on your waterbed.


How is the Web Spun into WebTV?

WebTV is spinning something nifty into your television set, but unlike those nasty spider webs hanging from the ceiling, you won’t need a dust rag to catch the Web in WebTV. In fact, WebTV is quick, but not dirty. It’s the cleanest and simplest way to get connected to the Web thus far.  Even the company’s Web site gives crisp answers to tangled questions.

WebTV Networks was founded in the spring of 1995 by three techies—Steve Perlman, Bruce Leak, and Phil Goldman—who previously worked for Apple Computing. But WebTV went quickly undercover. Like Superman posing as Clark Kent, the three super geeks chose the code name Artemis Research, and they conducted business out of a BMW garage in Palo Alto, California. At the speed of light, Artemis created the technology that makes cruising the Web on your television a piece of cake, and the company unveiled the WebTV in July 1996.

Keeping in line with the Superman image, WebTV Networks has a dual personality. The WebTV Reference Design is a set of standards that makes WebTV workable. The technology, constructed by Steve Perlman and Co., is licensed to the electronics companies Sony (Sony WebTV Internet Terminal) and Philips (Philips Magnavox Internet TV Terminal). The set-top boxes, which are about the size of cable television boxes, come out of the package ready to roll out the Web carpet for users.

In a nutshell, the box converts Web pages into standard television signals, so you can sit back, relax, and ride the Web waves like you would any other television channel. The WebTV box includes a 33.6 kilobyte-per-second (Kbps) V.34 modem and a 16-bit stereo audio for CD-like sound. Unlike a PC-compatible computer, which often uses an Intel processor, WebTV comes equipped with a 112 Megahertz 64-bit RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) chip designed by MIPS, a Silicon Graphics Inc. subsidiary.

The second component of WebTV Networks is the WebTV Network. Like any other online service, the Network is the limousine that escorts you to the Web in style. You pay $19.95 per month, and you can Web site-see until your gas runs out.


Whats the Use?

If you’re sitting on the couch, yawning, with your feet propped on a pillow, and clicking the remote control absent-mindedly to the beat of your wristwatch, it’s time to make a break for something new. You might think that you’ve exhausted all your entertainment options, since you’ve eaten the last tortilla chip, read the fine print on the credit card applications that cluttered your mailbox over the past month, and cleaned the cat’s litterbox for the second time in one day. Your mind flickers at the possibility of renting Silence of the Lambs for the third time, but before you rush out to the neighborhood Blockbuster, WebTV may be the medicine to cure you of old habits.

Laura and Greg Holladay are a husband and wife Web team living in Nevada. They used the WWW for the first time in December 1996, when they received the WebTV set-top box as a gift. So far, they’re having a blast Web browsing and e-mailing friends.

If you need to work with databases, spreadsheets, and word processors, however, WebTV gets you nowhere fast. The box enables you to search for Web sites, send messages, and visit chat rooms, but WebTV is not a computer. That’s just fine for the Holladay’s. They’re content to seek out their favorite sites, like Federal Express, USA Today’s sports page, and the plethora of ski resorts on the Web. “It’s fun,” Laura said. “I like going into the chat rooms. Yesterday, I was talking to someone from Australia.”

“It’s fun. I like going into the chat rooms. Yesterday, I was talking to someone from Australia.”

A.J. Mast, general manager at Kiva Networking in Bloomington, Indiana, expected to get serious with his WebTV set-top box. “I purchased WebTV to evaluate it for business purposes,” he said. Many customers of Kiva Networking see the WebTV commercials or hear a news peg on the radio. They want to know what WebTV can do for them.

Laura Holladay, for example, found a fringe benefit of having the WebTV appliance. Purchasing the WebTV box takes a wad from your wallet, but in the long run, the Holladay’s anticipate saving a few pennies on their long-distance service. “We do a lot of e-mail,” Laura said. “It cuts down on the phone bill.”


WebTV Dukes it out with Computers

Personal computers may take a licking with WebTV’s entrance into the interactive world. The content is the same, but the ride is like the difference between eating a Twix candy bar on the steps of La Louvre or the bleachers of the Indy 500. The following section looks at the ways WebTV changes your Web browsing experience.


Cost

If you’re the type of person who looks for red tags and sale racks, WebTV will be your guardian angel. For less than $400, you can have a connection to the Internet and a new toy to show off to friends. The Holladay’s spent most of New Year’s Eve sipping the bubbly at Web sites and chat rooms. Greg thinks that the price is just right for the product. He said, “It’s good for people who can’t afford to buy a $1500 or $2000 computer.”

Of course, if you already connect to the Web through your home computer, WebTV may turn out to be another gadget that does little more than clutter your shelf. A.J. Mast would hate to see home computer users waste their hard-earned money. “If you have a modem and hardware, you’ve already made the investment,” he said.


Ease of Use

The simple things in life can be the perfect answer to a world complicated by wires and sockets. WebTV makes life simple for newbie Internet users. As A.J. Mast puts it, “It’s a better way for grandma to interface with the Web.”


Comfort

Grab a blanket and hop into your slippers because WebTV lets even the slouchiest television viewers get more comfortable. It makes sense because no one wants to slip and slide through Web sites sitting in a stiff chair at an uptight desk. Take it from A.J. Mast, WebTV is snuggly. He even surfs the Web from his bed on Sunday mornings.


Flexible

You may be able to sprawl out on your living room floor to surf the Web with WebTV, but you won’t be able to flip channels to computer applications and fill your hard drive with the freeware at many Web sites. A.J. prefers to use his computer to do serious Web business. “With a personal computer, you have a lot more flexibility,” A.J. said.

Even so, WebTV users can jump through some hoops like animals at three-ringed circuses. Unlike television programs, which run on a set schedule, you choose the Web program, as well as the day and time to watch it. And you don’t have to worry about setting your VCR timer, if you work at odd hours. The Web site probably won’t go anywhere soon. You can tap into it whenever you’re available.


Screen Size

If you’ve ever sat in the bleacher seats at a football game and had the clouds block your view, then you know what watching the WWW from the couch can be like. Developers created Web pages to be viewed from about a foot away—the distance you sit from a computer—rather than the yards you sit away from the screen when you watch television.

WebTV Networks tries to bring the bleacher seats onto the playing field. Through algorithms, Web pages are modified at the WebTV Networks’ server. The pages come to the WebTV set-top box in a form fit for television. WebTV also uses a TVLens image enhancement to eliminate screen flickers, so Web browsing isn’t like bringing a strobe light into the living room.

In case you are contriving ways to hook up WebTV to your wristwatch television, think again. A.J. Mast thinks large television screens make or break the Web experience. “I wouldn’t recommend using it on anything less than a 19-inch screen,” he said. If you do, you may risk losing Web site image quality, not to mention your eyesight.


Printing

If you’ve found a hot site that you’d like to print out and show off to your friends, you’ll have to wait. At the moment, WebTV doesn’t offer a built-in printer feature. If you’re desperate to preserve some Web sites on paper, you can add a printer via a PC card slot in the WebTV.

Geek Speak: Untangling the Terms

Surf	You hop on your Web browser board and ride to Web sites like a surfer riding the ocean’s waves. In other words, you’re surfing the Web.

Newbie 	They’re the fresh faces of the cyber-community, who are still learning the Internet tricks and lingo.

Freeware 	Freeware applications are like the prizes you dig out of the clown’s pockets. The software is free, and you can download from Web or FTP sites to your computer hard drive.

URL	The acronym stands for Uniform Resource Locator. An URL is the address for a Web site.


WebTV a Hit on Television

Making the Web appealing on a television screen hasn’t been easy. For users, it’s like driving a stick shift car for the first time. Until you get used to the bucket seats and shifting gears, you feel a little stiff and out of place. But once you sit comfortably, you’ll be cruising to places that will send your imagination whirling. Use this section to get in deep with the differences between Web browsing and television program viewing.

Flipping the Channels to Television Stations on the Web

Before the Web became the newest TV star, television stations started making cameo appearances left and right on the World Wide Web. If you’d like to check out the sites for your favorite stations, you can find them at the following addresses.

NBC	http://www.msn.com

CBS	http://www.cbs.com

ABC	http://abctv.com

CNN Interactive	http://cnn.com

ESPNet Sportszone	http://espnet.sportszone.com

MTV	http://mtv.com

Weather Channel	http://www.weather.com

Discovery Channel	http://www.discovery.com


Privacy

Producers create television programs to entertain the whole family. Imagine writing in your diary with your husband staring over your shoulder, or letting your brother read the letter you wrote to your best friend. Displaying your private e-mail on the television screen in front of the whole family can make the hair of even the most open individuals stand on end.

Remember how sisters fought over the remote control, and how they called for mom to keep their brother from channel flipping at every commercial break? The same scenario is bound to happen with WebTV. A.J. Mast said, “In a family situation in the living room, not everyone wants to view the same Web page.”

Even so, some users, such as Laura and Greg Holladay, think WebTV is a social event. Neither of them like to get connected alone, and they often stay up late with friends to check out sites and talk with their online comrades.


Sound and Images

As Web developers adapt their designs to television, users can listen up for fresh sounds. WebTV has HTML tags that enable you to add background music to your Web page, so users feel like they’re watching television, rather than a silent movie. Although Greg Holladay yearns for more graphics and less text, he’s happy without the additional noise pollution. “The lack of sound doesn’t bother me,” he said.

Web Developers Get Stage Directions for Producing Television Sites

If you’re a budding WebTV site producer who needs to learn the tricks of the WebTV trade, the WebTV Networks site offers some handy tips. Because the Web looks best at VGA or higher resolutions, television screens, which have lower resolutions and color depths, can make a mess of even well-designed sites. At the WebTV site (http://webtv.net), you’ll learn how to create forms, color, and sound that dazzle a television screen as much as a computer monitor.


Getting Your Hands on a WebTV Box

WebTV set-top boxes are popping up at electronics stores like kernels jumping out of a popcorn popper. Many stores already have the boxes made by Sony and Philips. Others are planning to hop on the WebTV wagon soon. If you like to pick and choose, you don’t have to settle just for WebTV. ViewCall offers an interactive TV channel that’s wrapped in Internet televisions, such as Sega NetLink, which plugs into the cartridge slot of Sega’s Saturn game machine. Diba’s NetVision is a television that comes ready to surf the Web, and Teknema sells a network computer called Easy Rider for Web browsing. Teknema’s design could also display on television, as well as a computer screen, whereas Bandai’s Pippin is a stripped-down Macintosh that comes equipped with a CD-ROM drive, infrared keyboard, and printer and modem serial ports.

Regardless of where you get the boxes, you can count on a real deal. The following list indicates the prices of WebTV set-top boxes.

Ingredients Not Included

WebTV is similar to the stir and serve boxed dinners that require you to add water and oil to the recipe. In other words, you probably have the additional ingredients lying around your house. The following section tells you what you need.


Television

Like your cable television box, WebTV hooks into the back of your television. If your television lacks a video input port, you’ll need to purchase a RF adapter. The adapter enables you to get connected to the WebTV box in a snap. You’ll shift gears and drive through the Web at a race car speed.


Telephone line

WebTV uses telephone lines to connect to the Web, just like a computer dials into an Internet Service Provider (ISP). Unlike a computer, however, the process is invisible and as easy as pressing a button.

If you plan to cruise a lot of miles on the Web, consider getting a second phone line. You can use one line for personal calls and the other to make the most of your cyber-hobby. Even new users like Laura and Greg Holladay are thinking about adding a dedicated line. With a single line, they often have to cut their Web travels short. “We don’t stay on for hours and hours because our phone line is busy,” Laura said.


Optional Keyboard

If you’ve ever tried to bathe yourself in a shower stall, you have an idea of what it’s like to use the WebTV remote control and onscreen keyboard. You can get the job done, but it’s a tight fit and making quick maneuvers is awkward. To get herself some elbow room, Laura Holladay purchased a cordless infrared keyboard for around $50. Laura knew that the infrared keyboard saved her, when she read the instructions for how to navigate through the Web with the remote control and on-screen keyboard. “Without the cordless keyboard, I would get frustrated and give up,” she said.


Getting Hooked on WebTV

Connecting your computer to the World Wide Web is like making bread from scratch. You have to choose the right ingredients, sift them together, wait and punch and hope that it will rise into a light and tasty connection. Hooking up the WebTV set-top box, on the other hand, is akin to the no-brainer bread machines. With automatic bread makers, the contraption does most of the work for you. You simply plug it in and turn it on. The WebTV makers had a similar minimalist approach to their product. The hook-up is easier than setting up your VCR, and you’ll be picking delicacies from the World Wide Web bakery in fifteen minutes or less.

You just connect the video output from the WebTV box to video input on your TV set or VCR, connect audio output to the VCR or TV and plug in the cord to the telephone jack. With a press of the Web button, you’ll take off to the Web sites like a runner sprinting the final leg of an Olympic race.


Tuning into WebTV

Before your mouth starts watering for the Web sites you’ve been craving, you’ve got to take care of a few administrative details. Luckily, WebTV doesn’t let you get bored for too long. They guide you through the path in a jiffy, and then you’re free spirit ready to roam the Web.

1.	Dial—When you initially click the Web button on the remote, the modem will dial an 800 number to WebTV Networks.

2.	Local Access—Once you’ve reached the 800 number service, WebTV Networks assigns you a local access number so that you’re only charged for a local call each time you make a connection to the Web.

3.	Personal Information—You may have thought the Web transformed us into inhumane electronic signals running through the air, but WebTV Networks personalizes the process. They want to know who you are and where you live.

4.	Credit Card—You knew that you’d have to crack open your wallet and pay up at some point. The $19.95 per month charge goes on your credit card.

5.	And Go—Get going, get connected, and get outta here. It’s time to go wild on the Web!


The Nitty Gritty on Features

Web-browsing features aren’t just the icing on the cake. They’re the baking powder that makes your Web experience rise or fall. Get the low-down on features in the following section.

WebTV Channels to Surf until the Tide Comes In

The first stop on the ride through WebTV is the WebTV Home Page. Whether you want to make a pit stop or ride on by, the WebTV buttons make your journey quick and safe.

Mail	The place to send and receive electronic mail. When you’ve got a new message, you’ll see a blinking red light.

Favorites	Every Web cruiser is addicted to at least one Web site. If you find a Web page that’s good enough to visit twice, you don’t have to memorize the URL (Uniform Resource Locator). Just save it as a Favorite, and WebTV can get you connected to the site anytime you feel the urge to satisfy the craving.

Explore	If you like to get the big picture, this is the button to push. Explore connects you to WebTV’s directory of the Web sites the company thinks rule.

Search	Just like searching on public libraries’ online catalogs, you type a word and the you’ll get connected to Web sites on the topic. WebTV’s search mode is powered by the Excite search engine.

Around Town	If you want information on a specific town or city, Around Town will give you a tour of the Web sites that fit your needs.

Without the navigational tools, the WebTV interface will take you nowhere fast. You won’t have to steer your way through the Web waves without a paddle. Sony and Philips are making a splash with more goodies to transform your Web adventure into a trip as satisfying as a ride on Carnival Cruise Lines.

♦	Remote Control. If you’ve used a television in the past decade, you know what remote controls can do. The WebTV remote control has buttons to get connected, scroll through Web pages, navigate through commands, or display the on-screen keyboard.

♦	On Screen Keyboard. By pressing the GO button on the remote control, you have access to the onscreen keyboard. You can type your searches or fill in forms at a Web site. Some people find the standard keyboard clunky and choose to purchase a cordless keyboard for $50.

♦	Credit Card Swiper. With WebTV, you can avoid the crowds at the fitting rooms and the lines at the check-out counters. Shopping online was never so easy. You won’t even have to type in your 16 digit credit card number when you find an irresistible item. The WebTV box comes equipped with a Smart Card slot. Just swipe your card, and you’ve made the purchase lickety-split.

♦	Upgrades. WebTV upgrades are as smooth as a Persian cat’s fur. You’ll receive a warning, and when you accept, the box will dial into WebTV Networks and make the changes in a flash.

♦	Users. If you’ve ever tried to share a bedroom with a sibling, you know that making a peaceful space often means drawing heavy dividing lines. WebTV allows six users per household, including private mailboxes for each.

♦	User Preferences. If you’ve got a taste for Web pages that make your family members cringe, you can store them separately. Each user has their own Favorites list, PIN number, personal e-mail address, and preferences.

♦	Parental Control. Many parents are concerned about the bad apples out on the Internet, so WebTV offers SurfWatch as a feature. Parents can block their children’s access to certain Web sites and e-mail material.

♦	Documentation. A lot of people would rather see themselves sink in the Web waves before hanging themselves up to dry with a manual. But WebTV offers a user manual as a life preserver. Even so, Greg Holladay would like to receive more search tips, especially since he’s an Internet newbie. “It’s interesting,” he said. “I found a lot of information out there. The frustration that we have is not knowing how to find things.”

WebTV Networks also provides onscreen help for users, and Laura Holladay even received a personalized explanation of how to send e-mail. “We sent an e-mail to someone and left a space in the address, and it came back with an explanation of what was wrong,” she said.


Hop to It

The World Wide Web can be spontaneous and unpredictable, but you can count on one thing. With WebTV, you’ll never be bored. Even after a month of use, Greg and Laura Holladay still feel like kids at a carnival. “We’ve barely touched on it.” Greg “The more we learn, the more we’ll expand and the more time we’ll spend on it.” Now it’s your turn!

WWW & the Net: What's the Difference?

by Christian Plazas

Computing machines perhaps can do the work of a dozen ordinary men, but there is no machine that can do the work of one extraordinary man.

—E. B. White

Don't for one second think that you are the only person to ask "What's the difference between the Internet and World Wide Web?". This $64,000 question has been asked many young and old, as well as novice and experienced Web users.

Before proceeding with a discussion of the differences between the World Wide Web and the Internet, it is important for you to have a good understanding of what each is.


The Low Down on the Internet

The Internet is a world wide network of computers that share information. Information sharing and communication are the primary purpose for the Internet. Worldwide e-mail, software archives, and other informational resources abound on the Internet. It is these vast informational resources that many refer to when they say Internet. While this use of the word Internet is not wrong, there is a lot more to the Internet than information, such as  personal communications like online chatting or e-mail.

Internet 	A world wide network of computers that share information. Information sharing and communication are the primary purpose for the Internet.

The Internet itself is just cables, wires, and specialized computers, but its value lies in the vast amounts of information it contains. At the physical level, the structure of the Internet is one that is often described as a network of networks. It can be said that the Internet is one large virtual network composed of many smaller networks. In fact, it is the connection of networks from which the Internet derives its name. Much like the interstate highway system in the U.S., which enables land travel between states, the Internet facilitates communication between networks (inter -> between + net -> network = Internet).

The "shape" of the Internet can be visualized by imagining its layout as an inverted tree much like a diagram of a family tree or an organizational chart. At the very bottom, or ends of the tree are leaves or nodes—individual computers that make up end points on the network. These nodes usually make up a network that is confined to a small geographic area. These type of networks are called LANs, or Local Area Networks.

Jargon: 	LAN (Local Area Network)—network containing individual computers that make up end points on the Internet.

Typically these networks can be found in a building, department, or college campus. These "local" networks connect to larger networks, which cover a broader geographic area. These networks are called WANs, or wide area networks, and make up the "branches" of the tree. Further up stream many WANs connect to large regional networks, national, and international networks. At the top, the large regional, national, or international networks interconnect at many locations to form the virtual world-wide network. Thus, in our example individual computers can be thought of as leaves, LANs as twigs, WANs as branches, and large regional and international networks as the trunks.

WAN (Wide Area Network)—network that covers broad geographical areas.

It is the arrangement just described that facilitates worldwide communications over the Internet. The structure of the Internet can be observed in many places around us. Taking a look at one of these structures can help to understand how Internet communications occur.

The national system of roads and highways, for example, is laid out in much the same fashion as the Internet. Using this large network of roads, highways, and superhighways, an individual can travel from any location in the country to any other location thousands of miles away. The Internet is similar in this respect because using your home computer, you can "travel," or connect to a computer half the world away.

Let's take a trip from a small town in Virginia to another small town in Oregon, as an example.


Traveling Without a Suitcase

1.	The trip begins at the place of departure—your home, for example. Using city streets and roads, the you join up with a state or U.S highway that takes you out of town. This is like using LAN and WAN connections to connect to a larger regional Network.

2.	The state or U.S. highway links up to an large interstate highway 100 miles into their trip. The regional network can be likened to the state or U.S. highway, connecting the region to a much larger national or international network.

3.	The travel on the interstate takes up the majority of your cross country trip. Interstates are large highways designed to handle large amounts of traffic. This too can be compared to the Internet’s high-speed, high-capacity backbone, that carries the bulk of Internet traffic.

4.	Finally, on the other side of the country, the you use another smaller, state highway to traverse the distance between the intestate’s junction and the destination town. Once inside the town, you use city roads to go to the specific place you want to visit.

After traversing the Internet backbone, traffic is routed, or directed, to the regional network containing the destination computer. The data, or information, travels down through the WAN and LAN containing the destination computer, until the data reaches the computer. In this manner information is transported throughout the world.


Getting Your Hands on the Info

While the Internet provides us with the capability to access large amounts of varied information, historically the Internet has not made the access to the information easy. How to provide easy, universal access to Internet resources is a question that the pioneers of the Internet have struggled with for some time.

Early attempts for standard methods of information access led to the creation of protocols, or rules, that dictated how one was to get the information one needed. Client software that used these protocols was created, and was usually given the name of the protocol it used, for example, Telnet and FTP.

Jargon:	Protocol—rules that dictate how you get the information you want from the Internet.

At first, this Internet access software was not very user-friendly and was only used by people who were very knowledgeable about computers. As time went on Internet users, tried to find ways to make it even easier to find and retrieve Internet information, which led to the development of Internet software systems with catchy names, such as Gopher, Veronica, and Jughead.

These program too had flaws. They only provided a way to locate the information, not access it. You often still had to use the old Internet client software to actually retrieve the information once you found it. Hence, the World Wide Web, a development that would forever change the face of the Internet, was born.. The Web enables users with the most rudimentary computing skills to use the Internet effectively.


Catching the Wave of the Web

The World Wide Web is one of the most exciting developments in the history of human communication. Begun as an attempt to make it easier for physicists to share research, it has now become one of the most popular uses of the Internet. The Web is everywhere nowadays. Billboards advertising the latest Hollywood productions proclaim the address of the movie's Web site, television commercials carry that familiar trailer at the end http://blah-blah—the Web is hot!


So What's the Big Deal?

What is the Web and what makes it so special, you ask? The Web can simply be defined as a world wide collection of hypermedia documents. You will notice first of all, that the Web is worldwide, not localized, but distributed throughout the world, even reaching Antarctica

Second, the Web is made up of documents—hypermedia documents—that contain various forms of information. These documents are called hypermedia documents because they are not only made up of plain text, but are compound documents capable of containing rich multimedia elements and because almost any element in the document can contain what is called a hyperlink to another part of the document or another document altogether. It is the combination of rich content and ease of navigation that make the Web so great.

Jargon: 	Hypermedia documents—compound documents capable of containing rich multimedia elements. Almost any element in the document can contain what is called a hyperlink to another part of the document or another document altogether.


Getting "Hyper" Linked

Knowledge of what hypertext is and how it fits in to the Web is necessary to have a clear understanding of what the WWW really is. Hypertext is a term that describes the concept of displaying information  the navigation of those displays. In a hypertext document, certain words are highlighted in some way (underlined, bracketed, and so on) to make them distinct from the rest of the document's text.

This special text is linked to other documents containing information related to either the document containing the highlighted text or the highlighted text itself. When the link, or hyperlink, is activated, the document referenced by the link is displayed. This behavior is often seen in many multimedia encyclopedias available for personal computers. For example, while researching an article on basketball in a hypertext encyclopedia, the name of the game's inventor, Dr. John Naysmith, might be a hyperlink. If the link is activated, the encyclopedia displays the biography of Dr. John Naysmith.

As you can see by the preceding example, one of the most important aspects of hypertext is that it allows for non-linear navigation of the available information. If the same information is presented in book form, it must be navigated in a linear fashion, one topic after another. If there is something you need to know about, you look in the table of contents, or in the index and then thumb through the book to find the correct page.

Using hypertext, a given piece of information can be accessed in many different contexts. Take an encyclopedia article on viruses, for example. You can access the contents of the virus article by following a link embedded in an article on human diseases, but you can also access the article from another link embedded in an article dealing with microbiology. In this manner, the same piece of information is presented in different contexts.

Hypermedia takes the concept of hypertext a bit further. With hypermedia, it is no longer just highlighted text that provides links to other documents, but any multimedia element on the page can be used as a link. This is most often seen on the Web in the form of images and animations that, when activated, will link the user to another page, sound, or video clip. The use of hypermedia is one of the things that make the WWW as popular as it is. People can now have an interactive experience that stimulates visually and intellectually.

The capability to link documents from around the world in many different ways is what gives the WWW its name. Millions of links pointing to millions of documents can be compared to a spider’s web, where many strands of spider silk are interconnected to form one whole structure. Using a web, a spider can move from any position on the web to any other as necessary, because the strands are all interlinked.

On the Web, millions of pieces of information, in the form of documents, are linked together to form a whole body of worldwide knowledge. A link embedded in a document contained on a local server might lead you to another document on a server located in Moscow, Russia. But it doesn’t matter that these documents are physically separated by thousands of miles because to the user—they appear as a seamless whole. The seamless sharing of information is what the Web is all about.


Relationships Aren't Just for People

The relationship between the Web and the Internet is one that can be compared to the relationship between the data on a computer and the graphical interface used by the computer’s user to manipulate and work with that data. The Web provides an easy-to-use interface for Internet users, much like graphical interfaces make it easier for computer users to move, copy, create, rename and otherwise manipulate files, documents, and other data on their computers.

The relationship between the Web and the Internet is one that can be compared to the relationship between the complex machinery that makes an automobile go and the controls that people use to drive that car (steering wheel, pedals, and so on). The Web provides an easy-to-use interface for Internet users that hides the connections that need to be made and the commands that must be issued for Web pages to display, much like an automobile's controls hides the complex interactions that power the automobile; the fuel mixing with air, the spark plugs firing, the drive shaft turning, and so on.

In the early days of the Internet, it was necessary to learn to use many different client programs to be able to access Internet information resources, but with the advent of the World Wide Web, this is no longer necessary.  The client software for the Web, called a Web browser (or just browser) issues all the commands, makes all the connections, and presents information to the user in a easy to use point-and-click interface. Using a browser, an Internet user can access FTP sites, Web sites, Gopher sites, send and receive e-mail, and so on. Almost all the Internet’s services can be used from within the Web browser.

Jargon: 	Browser—an interface that enables you to manage information on the Web. The browser speaks to the servers to which you’re connecting, grabs the Web pages you want, and displays the files within the browser interface.

In addition to providing the information that fuels the Web, the Internet is also the medium by which that information is transported. The Internet, by its worldwide nature, is what makes the Web worldwide. The Internet provides the physical network upon which the Web operates. You will notice that WWW servers, the computers that store and “serve” or provide access to Web documents, are also members of the Internet. They are usually full-fledged Internet “host computers” and sometimes even provide other Internet-based services, such as FTP and Telnet.

Jargon: 	WWW servers—computers that store and “serve” or provide access to Web documents.

It is interesting to note that the technical definition of the Web does not specify that the Web should use the Internet. In fact, companies routinely create distributed information systems based upon Web concepts on their internal networks, called intranets. But it is the Internet that makes the World Wide Web truly “worldwide”. The Internet is thus part of and backbone to the World Wide Web.

The Cumulative Effect

At this point, you can see that the Internet is just a network of computer networks. Because the Internet is a network comprised of other folks'  networks, it is owned by no single entity. Each piece of the Internet is owned by whoever put the cables, wires, and computers together in that particular location.

Hypermedia and hypertext are the heart of the Web, which is really a concept of presenting information for human use. Hypertext and hypermedia allow users to see what information interests them in the order that they want to see it. The Web’s function is to provide Internet users with an easy to use and exciting interface to the information stored on Internet computers. In addition to presenting Internet information in a more palatable format, the Web uses the Internet as its backbone, providing the seamless integration of individual Web documents scattered around the globe.
