Note: If you are only interested in chess, you are on the
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Wrong PAGE! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This site is for NON-CHESS sites that may be interesting to the average web-surfer.
I am going to try to have all the best sites,
(The "Top Ten" web-sites.);
on
the Internet listed here. And all the ones that have taken me months,
(or years); to find. Useful services, little-known resources, etc.
I
personally guarantee that this page will, one day soon, be a
resource for everyone or anyone who has ever looked for anything
on the
Internet!!
Book mark this page!! And please tell your friends.
****************************************************************
DISCLAIMER: NO ONE IS PAYING ME FOR THE PLACES / SITES / BUSINESSES THAT ARE LISTED ON THIS PAGE!!
Then
why am I doing it? The answer is simple.
<< I wanted to develop a web-page that was like, "The Shell Answer - Man." >>
I really just wanted to give all the non-chess players a reason to stop by!!!
One of my goals
is that one day this page be listed in ...
EVERY SEARCH ENGINE
as a "one-stop shopping" place for answers!!!
******************
Like the man said,
" You build it, and they will come ... "
___________________________________________________________________
A visitor to my web-site recently wrote me an e-mail. The basic message was, "Why come here?" The average person could search the Internet and find most of what I had found in minutes. And you know what? He was right!! If you want to spend 15 minutes (or more) searching for something, go ahead!
Hopefully the main reason you will come here is because I can save you
time!!
And that my friends, is easily your most valuable commodity!!!
Also - - - have you ever watched TV and seen an ad for a
web-site, you liked what you saw; BUT
then you forgot
to write it down? Well, I have solved that problem for
you.
I have tried to get as many of the big
TV advertisers as I can on these
pages!!!
Most of the "biggies" that advertise on TV are right here!!!
Another thing I would like to point out, is that this page has a definite "theme," i.e., I am especially interested in sites and businesses that offer ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY. What am I talking about? I am referring to the solutions of tomorrow's problems that are here today. Advanced communications, services that offer Internet and Internet solutions, advanced computer technologies, innovative software applications. etc. If I refuse to list a business or organization here, I have good reasons. After all, I have that right. Its my web page.
An "A.J." Free Tip - Not finding what you need? I'll give you some advice on how to better search the Internet. Your browser may not have the best search engine.
# 1.) Go to Galaxy or Google and search there.
(There is a link to those sites on this page.)
# 2.) Make a list of "key words." Let's say you are searching for employment web-sites. Some of the phrases you should search under would be, "Jobs," "Job Opportunities," "Employment," etc. Try to come up with as many keywords as you can, as this will increase the likelihood of finding what you need. Be sure to include any associated phrases.
# 3.) Repeat your search. Some search engines are now "randomizing" their searches, so you may not get what you want or need on the first try.
Another note: This page has become too large to fit the average web browser. Therefore I have had to break it up into many, many, new, different sections. (More, AND Different Pages.)
-
www.microsoft.com - The Grand-daddy (and Muthah) of all Internet sites. Bill Gates, love him or hate him, (I do neither.) ... but you must admit that without MS, the net, (and home personal computers!); would be a much different place!! You will find lots of neat stuff here. Ever had a problem with a piece of MS software? Then the patch (software repair kit), is probably there for you to download. Download lots of other free stuff too. You could spend months knocking around this site, I know I have spent dozens, (If not hundreds!); of hours here. (A friend who used to work for MS told me they have a team of programmers whose only job is to work on the Microsoft Web Site!!) There is lots of free software and upgrades to MS products here. Be sure to download the new media player!! (FREE!)
-
www.hotmail.com - Another cool Microsoft site. Get your own e-mail address for life. (But forget to check it for six months like me, and they delete you account!) Just click on the name and you will be taken to the sign-up / log-in page.
("And now, a word from our sponsors ...")
-
www.yahoo.com - Do you Yahoo? Either you do - - - or you know someone who does. The services they offer are too many and too numerous to name here. Click here to get free e-mail ... FOR LIFE!! ...and much more! You may also shop here and do a bunch of other fun things here. I must also mention, that according to I-Market Research, Yahoo is both: A.) One of the most trusted names on the Internet; and B.) One of the top three Internet sites.
(And since this IS a chess site, I would be completely remiss if I did not tell you that you can play chess on Yahoo. Good stuff!! Go to: Chess on Yahoo.)
-
www.GeoCities.com - Go here and sign up. (If you signed up for Yahoo [above], then you are already a member.) After you have been there and signed up, you can start building your own web page. Are you hopeless when it comes to computers? Then I could help you build your own webpage on GeoCities. Contact me for more details. (Note GC closed in 2009.)
www.askjeeves.com - Another one of the most popular and highest-rated on the Internet. Here you ask your butler, Jeeves, any question you can think of. And he probably knows the answer. Another good site to know if your kids have to do research for school. (Or if you just wanted to know the answer to any question.) A good site for checking the answers to trivia games!! - - - This site also offers dozens of services and related sites. They also have a very good search engine. An A.J. "must-see" on your 'Net tour! Check it out!! Click HERE.
-
www.lycos.com - One of the best search engines on the Internet. Also, you can shop, search for things here, find answers here, get various services here, etc.
(Have you seen the commercial on TV that says:)
"Whatever you are into, dig into it deeper."
This is the place. Another one of the "Top 100" sites on the Internet. Also considered by several rating services, (like Jeeves); to be a MUST-SEE for your web-surfing experience. This site also is one of the most heavily trafficked on the 'Net. (Number of "hits" daily.)This is what a news-letter I recently received said about Lycos:
<< The Nielsen/Net-Ratings [of the] Top 25 websites [by property] report is now out ... and there are many interesting findings ... not least the popularity of Lycos. "So what?", I hear you say. You may think we are only talking about a one or two percent market share... however we are talking about a whopping 26% market share!!! >>
(The "I-Need-Hits!" newsletter. [Late Oct. 2000.])
So you can see, if you have not been to this website, you are missing out. If you have a web-site and you have not listed it with their search engine, then you may be missing out on a big chunk of business and traffic.'Nuff Said?
Another strong point about Lycos: Free Web Pages!!! Go get yours now!! (www.angelfire.com.) Join the over FOUR MILLION people who have a web page with Lycos!! Its free! And there are DOZENs of related sites all designed to help you build a great web page!! ALL the tools you need to build your own web page are here!! Nothing to buy!!
They have made it, if not easy, at least possible, for the average Joe to build a great looking web page.
-
www.amazon.com - One of the LARGEST sites on the Internet. It is also a GLOBAL web-site. And according to several different services, it is easily one of the "Top Ten" Internet sites! It is also one of the busiest!! (It probably receives hundreds of thousands, if not millions of hits per day!!!) (Another one of the Nielsen Net rating's "Top 25 Sites." Also a top "E-Commerce" business.) I must also mention, that according to I-Market Research, Amazon is both: A.) One of the most trusted names on the Internet; and B.) One of the top three Internet sites.
At Amazon (<dot> com) you can buy nearly anything. Books, videos, music, games, toys, the list is nearly endless. They sell well over 2,000 chess books. Plus hundreds of related items. If you have never been there, you are missing out. A definite "Must-See" for the serious webs-surfer. You could also do a ton of gift-shopping there, and never leave your home or office!! What are you waiting for?
-
www.ebay.com - Now considered to be one of the "Top Ten" Internet sites. (Nielsen/Jeeves/Time Digital/I-Market Research; and many others.) It takes literally hundreds of thousands, (if not millions!); of hits every single day. Buy, sell, find what you have been looking for! Most people who use the Internet use ebay. One of my friends, who buys and sells antique pens, uses E-Bay to do his most of his buying and selling. If you are not using E-Bay, then you are behind the times. Lots of things to see and do here. You definitely must check this one out!! A definite stop for the serious web-surfer!!!! I must also mention, that according to I-Market Research, "e-bay" is both: A.) One of the most trusted names on the Internet; and B.) One of the top three Internet sites.
(You can also pick up anything chess-related here: books, sets, chess paraphernalia,- - - you name it; IT'S HERE!!!!!)
-
www.auctiontools.net/easyauction - If you are a SERIOUS ebay user, then you should check out this program. Its a program and database manager. It can keep track of your bids, all the things you are buying and selling on ebay, and much more.
