Miscellaneous

	Free long distance - Dialpad.com - Allows you to call ANY U.S. telephone number from your p.c. and talk for free, as long as you want. All you need is a p.c. with internet access, a sound card, speakers and a microphone connect. You call a regular telephone.
	Great buildings online -

Place Searches: Need directions or a map to find a friend's house, a business or other place?

	Mapsonus - the best online mapping site, in my opinion
	MapBlast - has improved over mapquest
	MapQuest - started it all, but now seems to have become more inaccurate!

Search Engines

Google - Considered by many to be the best

Metacrawler - it searches about 10 or 20 other search engines automatically for you.

Excite - Has LOTS of links.

Yahoo! - always popular

People Searches: Phone number and Address searches: These sites allow you to enter a name for either a person or a business and to locate their phone number, address or email address. Or you can enter the phone number and find the name, etc.
