Advantages: Covers just about every aspect of computer life and requirements
Disadvantages: None

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 ...
...almost impossible to cover every aspect of Excite’s services and if I did try this opinion would go on forever. I therefore would again like to concentrate on the main attractions of this site. Anyone can become a member of Excite. The registration is free and the process is very simple and not time consuming. The main links are available in the center of the homepage and some of the important and useful ones the are: Computers ------------- ... Read review

Advantages: Wide range of features and resources.
Disadvantages: Website is on a slow server, much of the content is out-of-date.

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 ...
...email. Not too bad, hosts all the main features you would expect. Although the situation isn't helped by excite's slow servers. It is also WAP enabled. Free SMS - Pretty good by all accounts, although some messages have gone astray with me. E-Cards - A fairly good range of e-cards. (These are images that can be customized and sent to friends by email, like birthday cards, etc) Chat - As with most 'chat' facilites offered on these type of sites, ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent SMS, good search, and everything else really
Disadvantages: Pages too full to allow 100% understanding at first glance

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 ...
...quite ‘jam packed’ site and quite colourful. It will surely cheer you up on a rainy day (if you’re a weirdo). My first intentions were to check out the search engine quality. It was no disappointment. Although jot up to the speed of Google or Yahoo, Excite isn’t that far behind. They repeatedly gave me good results, and I have found very few dead links. Only improvement that they could add, is a bigger text box. If you’re ... Read review

Advantages: So many extras
Disadvantages: some pages too full

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. ...
...colourful when compared to other similar sites. They mostly stick to a orange/yellow and blue scheme, which isn't bad at all. You can see what you're gonna get, just from opening up the home page. There is a lot of stuff listed here, just about everything you're going to get actually. Its contents include things like: FREE E-MAIL - I now have my email account with them and haver had no troubles yet. I have found that it sometimes takes a little ... Read review

Advantages: lots of features
Disadvantages: looks gritty, bad search

...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 ...
...many things really the main features are "free email", "free sms", "free e-cards" and other stuff like horoscopes, people search, auctions, weather and of course loads of shopping! Well that sounds better, what else can you tell me.... you want more eh? Well the main page of the site is full of advertising, the main source of income for excite, i most noticed this "tarot reading" at 75p / minute!. You can customise many features from what news ...
