Being a new user of Excite’s free e-mail service I thought it worthy of writing an opinion on Excite.com, itself. Covering all aspects of Excite is not an easy task since they do just about everything and one look at their homepage tells it all. Unlike other companies such as Virgin, Excite have not monopolized each product or service, with their own affiliate or associate companies, and thus arises the important difference. The realization of a competitive and informative service. It would be almost impossible to cover every aspect of Excite’s services and if I did try this ... more

Excite is a web portal. Simply, a website that offers a wide range of different tools to assist your online experience. The most famous site of this genre is Yahoo!, although there are many 'portals' out there. Here's a run down on what Excite has to offer: Search Engine - One of the main features of this site. Functions as an intelligent engine, but isn't great on accuracy or speed. Nor is it updated regularly, it can be very hard to get a site listed within this search engine. Email - Standard, web-based email. Not too bad, hosts all the main features you would expect. Although the situation ... more

Like Yahoo, Excite is another one of those sites, which has everything. In my tedious hours of boredom at college, I have spent a lot of time looking around, just checking out new sites. This one is by no means new, but I only started visiting it very recently when it was pointed out by a friend (a 20 year old friend who used to play around with the 12 year old girl ‘love’ stuff that they have there – you’ll see what I mean if you take a look). Excite is actually a quite ‘jam packed’ site and quite colourful. It will surely cheer you up on a rainy day (if ... more

Excite is one of those sites that has everything. I originally started with the thoughts of using it as a search engine. As soon as you see the site for the first time though, you'll notice just how much more than that it really is. The first thing I noticed about it was its very complicated look. I just sat there thinking "Oh my God, where to now?". No, not really, it wasn't quite that bad. Although there is always a lot packed in to their pages. Its easy enough to understand. Pages are very colourful when compared to other similar sites. They mostly stick to a orange/yellow and blue scheme ... more

Tell me about this excite then? Well excite.co.uk has move towards a portal setting in the last few months, it says it reaches 56% of the UK internet users, you basically type in what you want to search for then choose the option you want to search in, ie UK sites, web, news, europe, photos, mp3 etc. These may seem good but behind the boring look and advertising banners, it often lists irrelevent results and huge numbers of them to! That sounds pretty bad, what else can you do on this site then? Well many things really the main features are "free email", "free sms", "free e-cards" and other ... more
