A Short Introduction to the

Interesting WWW Links

by Heikki Kantola

Chapter I: Internet

Searching

As the 'Net is full of more or less useful and useless information, there's much need for indexes and search engines for WWW, FTP, news, e-mail addresses and mailing listswhich will hopefully help you to find the information you're looking for.

Search the WWW

Indexes

Search the Usenet newsgroups

  • Google Groups
  • Freenet Finland's news archive search [FI]

    • Search engines to lookup e-mail addresses

    Mailinglists

    ...And finally all in one solutions:

    C|Net Search.com
    searches from many search engines simultaneously
    Metacrawler
    multithreaded search engine
    DigiSearch [FI] :-\
    Fancy looking multi-threaded search
    Mamma.com
    The Mother of All Search Engines(TM)

    WWW Browsers

    (In alphabetical order)

    HTML

    Hypertext Markup Language (in its many variants and bastardizations) is the code used to construct all the WWW pages (including this one).

    Due the extensive amount of information on the subject, I've dedicated a whole subchapter (Ia) for the subject.

    Usenet News

    IRC

    Like HTML, I've decicated a separate subchapter for Internet Relay Chat.

    Net Abuse

    Information about what you shouldn't do on the Internet, like spamming. [FI]
