1. http://SiteLevel.com - Get a free search engine for your web site, so your visitors can find what they are looking for within your site. It takes 2 minutes to set up, and all you have to do is copy and paste a few lines of code to get your own Site Level search engine up and running. Detailed statistics let you know exactly what your visitors are searching for! Think of how many people have left your site in frustration because they couldn't find exactly what they were looking for, and how that situation could have been avoided had you offered a site search feature.
2. http://Chubba.com - Find it fast with CHUBBA. One search brings you the top results from multiple search engines, saving you time and frustration. My neighbor spent 40 minutes on a well known search directory attempting to locate a hard to find part for his 1962 Corvette before he gave up in frustration. When he shared his negative experience with me, I took him to CHUBBA.COM and we found exactly what he needed within 30 seconds.
3. http://SuperAuction.com
- Why pay the retail price when you can get the same new item, with the same
brand name, at a discounted price? One day I went to the local office supply
super store to purchase a 4 port USB hub for my computer because I wanted
the item that day. The store was sold out, so I went to three other stores with
the same result. Everyone was sold out of the 4 port USB hubs. I went to the
manufacturer's web site, and they were charging $20 more than the stores were.
So I went to SuperAuction.com and found the exact same 4 port hub (same brand
name, new not used) for 50% less than what I would have paid at the store.
SuperAuction.com searches all of the online auctions for whatever you want to
buy, helping you to get the best price possible. It's like visiting all of the
online auctions at the same time, with one search.

When Wal-Mart Comes to Town http://www.pbs.org/storewars/
When Wal-mart executives arrived in a small town in Virginia, their eyes were filled with dreams of dropping a mega-store right in the middle of Main Street. Their plans created more than just a little resistance and caused a rift amongst the citizens of Ashland, Virginia, spurning a hot debate over the effects of big business on small town America.
'Store Wars' is an hour-long documentary produced by PBS that follows this story from its beginning to the first ruling by the City Council of Ashland. Throughout the website visitors will find background information on the events, main characters and issues revolving around the standoff. There is detailed information on Wal-mart (the largest retail chain in the world), an interview with the director of the documentary, and insight into the many social, economic and industrial issues that make this argument so interesting.

http://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/genomics/0_home/index.html Genomic Revolution
The Genomics Revolution is here -- yikes!

Wild World http://www.nationalgeographic.com/wildworld

Wild World, created by National Geographic, is more than your average educational site. Its main attractions are the two interactive maps, which visitors can use to explore the world's eco-regions and see the Earth in terms of its plants, animals and climates.
The maps are scalable and each eco-region link contains informative descriptions, photos, data on population and vegetation, video clips and links to educational resources.

This collection of letters, written by some of television's most well known reporters, gives us a peek into the process known as 'landing an interview'.

http://cnvi.comHere is a link to a fully functioning demonstration. At this site you can try out our technology. It really does work and it's dead simple.
http://aegis.inroad.net/aegis/What you will see in the demo is Aegis Secure Login, a keystroke dynamic authentication system that is web based and runs in an internet browser. First time users will download a plug-in which will be automatically installed. This plugin collects and encrypts keyboard data and communicates with the authentication server over the Internet. The plugin installation process is usually very quick as the browser plugin is quite small. The site explains how the product works and what it does. When registering a profile (training) please make your user name and passwords 8 to 16 characters in length and that you can type them easily without having to read them as you type. The smoother and more automatic a person's typing style is the stronger the authentication lock.
As a test, after you register your profile, have someone else try to get in using your identity. Try it first by not letting them see how you type and then let them do it after you show them how you type it in.
Aegis Secure Login is the first of three products in the Aegis family. Aegis
(Network version) the second, provides authentication based on keystroke
dynamics for network authentication. We will be finishing Beta
testing of it in Q4, 2000. Thirdly, Aegis (Dynamic version) provides for
transparent, continuous and unobtrusive authentication of workstation or remote
computer activities using keystroke dynamics. It will be completed in q2, 2001.
Have fun with it. As I said first round investors can get in on a world beater app! We are actively courting a number of first round investors. Our target is $3,000,000 plus... before the end of 2000!

http://www.softdata.co.uk Local?PROBLEM: You need to compare two text files for differences between them.
SOLUTION: The Windows 98 Resource Kit includes a free tool called WinDiff that
compares text files or folders of text files. WinDiff has a standard
graphical user interface or you can use it in command-line mode. You can view
the comparisons in outline mode or a color-coded expanded mode. The trick is
that you have to install the Resource Kit first: insert your Windows 98 CD, then
double-click on Setup.exe from the \tools\reskit folder and follow the
instructions from there.
